The five-day extension period for 20 percent rebate in the property tax by mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ will end today. On Monday, the mayor had extended the rebate for five more days stating it to be the last extension provided by the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD). However, considering the corporation has collected only around Rs 23 crore of the property tax in the last 11 months which is not even 50 percent of their set target, the corporation is likely to extend the rebate period by a few more days to encourage locals for tax submission. Moreover, the property tax of around Rs 15 crore of various government and non-government buildings is still pending in the corporation.
According to the municipal tax superintendent, the buildings with the maximum pending property tax include Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) with about Rs 90 lakhs, SIDCUL with Rs 1.77 crore, ISBT city junction mall with Rs 50 lakh and Secretariat with Rs 90 lakhs. As per the officials, the corporation will receive the pending property tax of most of these buildings by the end of March which will help MCD to achieve the set target of Rs 50 crore.
