The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has extended the last date for geo-tagging of properties till 30 June 2024, in a move to give another opportunity to taxpayers to register their property with the civic body. The extension has been given as a large number of taxpayers were not able to register their properties at the MCD portal due to technical glitches or other issues. According to the order, many taxpayers were yet to complete the mandatory geo-tagging of their properties. If a taxpayer fails to geo-tag their property, they cannot avail the rebate on the lumpsum payment of tax by June 30 in the current financial year 2024-25. Geo-tagging of properties refers to assigning a unique latitudelongitude coordinate to a property on a GIS map by selecting the current location against any Unique Property Identification Code (UPIC) so that all properties have their location identified against a unique latitude-longitude position.


      In December 2023, the MCD made geo-tagging of all kinds of properties mandatory for availing property tax exemption.

      Geo-tagging of properties by taxpayers will provide a location-wise identification of individual properties and will enable better provisioning of service delivery to the citizens by MCD.
