NEW DELHI: To provide relief to residents, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has decided to extend the date of its general amnesty scheme for payment of outstanding dues for all types of properties without any interest or penalty in all the categories till the end of this month.

Under the general amnesty scheme, property holders who make payment of outstanding dues by 30 September will be entitled to 100% interest and penalty waiver.

“Now, property owners can deposit their tax for the current financial year 2020-2021 with 15% rebate by September 30 against the earlier deadline of August 31,” said South Delhi Municipal Corporation standing committee chairman Rajdutt Gehlot.

Their pending tax from 2004 to 2019 will be completely waived,” said a south civic body official
