Synopsis

Delhi's property tax collections surged by 46 per cent in FY26, reaching INR 3,116.62 crore, driven by better compliance, enforcement, and the Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO) amnesty scheme. The number of taxpayers increased by nearly 20 per cent, while first-time contributors under SUNIYO added INR 448.89 crore. Use of third-party data helped map over 48,000 previously unassessed properties, generating additional revenue. Collections from residential and non-residential properties under the amnesty scheme totaled INR 1,236.03 crore, indicating a broader tax base and improved civic revenue mobilisation.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has reported a significant increase in property tax collections for FY26, registering a 46 per cent rise compared to the previous year. The growth is attributed to better compliance measures, stricter enforcement, and the implementation of the property amnesty scheme. Collections reached INR 3,116.62 crore, up from INR 2,132.89 crore in the prior financial year.


The total number of taxpayers also grew notably, rising 19.36 per cent to 13,52,562 from 11,33,161. A substantial portion of the revenue came through the Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO) amnesty program, which alone brought in INR 1,236.03 crore from 2,06,861 taxpayers. Residential properties contributed INR 242.87 crore from over 1.47 lakh units, while non-residential properties added INR 993.52 crore from more than 59,000 units.

Officials noted that approximately 1.12 lakh individuals paid property tax for the first time under the scheme, contributing INR 448.89 crore, reflecting a widening of the tax base. The civic body also leveraged third-party data, including trade licenses and electricity records, to identify previously unassessed or non-compliant properties. This exercise mapped 5,808 new properties, generating INR 25.68 crore, while 43,114 additional properties identified through electricity data yielded around INR 40.20 crore.

Further enforcement action was taken against long-pending defaulters, with some properties being attached to ensure compliance. The MCD has extended the SUNIYO scheme until April 30, with a five per cent penalty for late payments, encouraging taxpayers to clear pending dues within the deadline.
