No more queues, house tax payment to go online
Online Payment is soon going to be introduced by MCG or Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon making house tax payment simpler and hassle free!
The Municipal Corporation is soon going to introduce the facility to pay online house tax payment on the municipality website. Other fee and taxes can also be deposited online and with this facility, there will be no long queues outside the MCG office. A few months back, a similar proposal was given, but nothing concrete happened as the proposal failed to materialize. However, this time the Authorities are pretty sure about the success of this facility as things have been planned in a much better way this time. Frequent meetings between the IT Department and the Tax Department prove that the idea is going to be successful. They are planning to revamp the entire site, thus making it more user-friendly and efficient. A totally safe and secure payment gateway will be introduced.
Many times, it has been seen that majority of people want to pay their house tax on time, but the idea of standing in long queues and filling detailed forms deter them from doing so. If this online payment service is introduced successfully, the tax collection is expected to rise significantly. A Unique Identification Number or UIN will be issued to every property owner. Whether MCG issues a notice or not, the property owner will be liable to pay taxes on time. Every year, before 31st July, this tax needs to be paid by the property owner. Failing to do so will result in penalties.
Vijender Gupta, the Chairman of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi announced complete computerization of property tax payment in the year 2007. This announcement came into effect in the year 2010 and for the first time, the new property tax bill was issued. Once the bill is issued, the property owners get a months’ time to solve any queries they might have. With the total revamping of Municipal Corportation of Gurgaon website, things seem to be better and more promising. Now property owners will not have any excuse about receiving notice for the tax payment. They will have to pay the taxes on time as per the tax structure. Things will also become quite hassle free and convenient for property owners in Gurgaon.
