New Delhi, March 28 (NationPress) For the convenience of taxpayers facing a rush at the end of the financial year, NDMC’s Property Tax Collection Counters and Tax Office will be open over the weekend from March 29 to 31, as stated by Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal on Friday.
Taxpayers can make payments at the following locations: Shaheed Bhagat Singh Place (Gole Market), Palika Bhawan (R.K. Puram), and Palika Kendra (Sansad Marg - Headquarters).
Following the presentation of NDMC’s Budget in December 2024, Chahal highlighted that the civic authority has introduced a Rs 463.40-crore surplus Budget for 2025-26 with no increase in property tax rates.
NDMC anticipates collecting property tax of Rs 1,150 crore in the Revised Estimates for 2024-25 and Rs 1,290 crore in the Budget Estimates for 2025-26, he mentioned.
The Chairman presented the Annual Budget for 2025-26 with Financial Projections indicating that the total receipts for the Budget Estimates 2025-26 are Rs 5,770.60 crore, compared to Rs 5,319.75 crore in the Revised Estimates for 2024-25. The total actual receipts in 2023-24 reached Rs 5,005.05 crore.
Earlier on Friday, the Vice Chairman inaugurated three upgraded Public Toilet Utilities (PTUs) at various locations in Khan Market in the presence of representatives from the Khan Market Traders Association and officials from Civil, Electric, Horticulture, and Public Health Departments.
During the inauguration, Chahal stressed the significance of well-maintained public sanitation facilities, especially in a high-traffic area like Khan Market, which is known as the 22nd most expensive high street worldwide.
“During my regular inspections and interactions with market stakeholders, I noted that the existing public toilet facilities were in poor condition. Given the high demand from visitors and market traders, NDMC took the initiative to renovate these PTUs, ensuring they adhere to high hygiene standards and improve the overall experience for citizens,” Chahal stated.
Chahal reaffirmed NDMC's commitment to realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Swachh and Viksit Bharat by providing well-maintained, hygienic public utilities.
“With the Swachh Bharat Mission, India has tackled open defecation issues by prioritizing the construction and utilization of toilets. NDMC is advancing this mission by consistently enhancing sanitation infrastructure in high-traffic areas like Khan Market,” he added.
