What Our Clients Say About Services

I am an NRI based in Washington since past many decades. We hold a lot of properties in Delhi but our property taxes were a complete mess until we connected with Sunil K Khanna & Co. They helped us update our property tax arrears for past 7 years. Ever since then we have been smoothly complying with property tax returns on annual basis and that too with rebates. Thanks for the support.
Ms. Aninda Mattoo

State of Washington

We had received a Property Tax Notice from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Our Tax Returns were mismanaged. The team at Sunil K. Khanna & co. helped us sort out the property tax returns for past 14 years. We realized we were paying excess every year and even got a refund adjustment which saved us a lot of money. Great Work Keep It up!

What We Do

We at Sunil K Khanna & Co. handle Property Tax matters such as Property Tax Return Filing and Property Tax Payment online. The property tax is levied on all residential and commercial properties by Municipal Corporation in Delhi and Haryana.

In Delhi Assessment and Collection Department of MCD is entrusted with the task of collection of property tax under Section 113 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. The Municipal Corporation is divided into two zones MCD-Municipal Corporation of Delhi and NDMC- New Delhi Municipal Corporation. The MCD is further divided into North, South, East & West zones. There are two components of property tax, namely – (a) a building tax; and (b) a vacant land tax.

In Haryana the Municipal Corporation is divided into City Zones such as MCG – Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon, MCF – Municipal Corporation of Faridabad etc.

The municipal corporation requires all property owners to self-assess their property tax and submit their property return tax on an annual basis.

Due Dates of Depositing Property Tax Return.

The Property Tax is deposited in advance every year. The due date for depositing property tax on annual basis is 30th June. In case the property tax is deposited before or up to 30th June the property owner is eligible for a rebate of 15 percent on the total tax payable. Beyond 30th June there is no rebate available to the property owner.

Property Tax Return

The property tax return is required to be filed on an annual basis. The property tax payment can be done only when a property tax return is filed. Therefore, the due date for filing property tax return is

30th June every year but a belated return can also be filed up till 31st March of the year.

 Property Tax Amnesty Scheme / Samriddhi Scheme

The property tax arrears for earlier years can be filed with interest and penalty. However, in the past years the Municipal corporation has introduced many Amnesty scheme where in the interest and penalties are waived off to enable the property owners to deposit their property tax arrears without interest and penalty. These schemes are usually introduced in the month of February and march to promote collection of property taxes.
