Pay tax or face property attachment: MCD

Desperate to increase collection of house tax,the main source of its revenue,the MCD has warned defaulters that they may face prosecution and property attachment if they do not clear dues by this month-end.

Issuing a public notice,the civic agency has pointed out to the citizens that the last date for paying property tax of earlier years and the current year is March 31 and clearance of dues by that date will ensure 100 per cent waiver of interest and penalty on pending tax.

The Municipal Corporation has been running two schemes for settlement of ex-parte assessments under old system of assessment (rateable value) as well as the new system (unit area method) — both of which will expire in March-end.
