Source: Times of India Dated: 04 Feb, 2012 Public Notice - 15 Dec 2011 Get rid of old burden with Special Settlement Scheme (2011 - 12):- With the municipal polls scheduled early next year, the BJP-led MCD has decided to extend the amnesty scheme for property tax defaulters till March 31, 2012. Under the scheme, the defaulters both under the old and new systems of evaluation can clear dues without paying any penalty or interest on the outstanding amount. Sources say the scheme has been extended due to poor response as not many people have come forward, especially under the unit area method, to settle their dues. The civic agency started the amnesty scheme for the second time this year in October 2011. But so far, it has received just 700-odd applications for settlement. But the BJP-led civic agency is cashing in one the scheme. According to the initial proposal of the property tax, department, a waiver of 70% of the interest on property tax amount was recommended. But on the recommendation of Delhi mayor Rajni Abbi and standing committee chairman Yogender Chandolia, the waiver was made 100%.
