MCD mandates geo-tagging for property tax exemption

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has mandated the geo-tagging of all properties for eligibility to receive property tax exemption, according to an official statement. Failure by any taxpayer to complete the geo-tagging of their properties by January 31, 2024 will result in the forfeiture of a 10% rebate on lump sum advance tax payments in the next fiscal year, due by June 30.

Property owners are urged by the MCD to promptly complete the geo-tagging process. If a property has already been geo-tagged by MCD officers, further action is unnecessary, the statement clarified.

Additionally, property owners not registered with the MCD's property tax portal are instructed to register their properties, generate UPIC, and undertake the geo-tagging process. Failure to register by January 31 may lead to tax recovery and prosecution against defaulters, the statement warned.

Geo-tagging by taxpayers will facilitate location-specific identification of individual properties, enhancing service delivery by the MCD to citizens, the statement emphasised. Geo-tagging involves assigning a unique Latitude-Longitude to a property on a GIS map, providing a precise location against a UPIC.

The MCD has introduced a mobile app, Unified Mobile App (UMA), for geo-tagging residential and non-residential properties. Property owners can download the app from the Play Store or visit the website at http://mcdonline(dot)nic(dot)in/mcdapp(dot)html. To complete geo-tagging, users must log in, select the UPIC for geo-tagging, and utilise the Action button to initiate the process.

For those without a UPIC number, the app allows for UPIC generation and subsequent geo-tagging. Users can also geo-tag properties by capturing geo coordinates and adding photographs through the app. After completing these steps, users should submit the details by clicking 'yes.'
