Delhi MCD Extends Geotagging Deadline to Feb 29

01 Feb 2024 CW Team

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has announced an extension of the deadline for geotagging properties, allowing property owners more time until February 29 to comply. The decision comes as a measure to accommodate property owners and streamline the geotagging process for improved property identification and documentation.

The extension provides property owners in Delhi with additional time to ensure their properties are accurately geotagged, contributing to the city's comprehensive property database. Geotagging involves attaching geographical information to properties, aiding in effective urban planning, infrastructure development, and property assessment.

The move aligns with the MCD's efforts to enhance property management and ensure the accuracy of property-related data. Geotagging plays a crucial role in modernizing property records, making them more transparent, accessible, and useful for civic planning and governance.

Delhi property owners are encouraged to utilise the extended timeframe to complete the geotagging process, contributing to the city's goal of creating a robust and technology-driven property management system. The extension reflects the MCD's commitment to a collaborative approach, recognising the importance of community participation in improving urban infrastructure and governance.
