In a bid to streamline property tax data and ensure accuracy in tax bills, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has announced mandatory self-certification for property owners. This certification will be required for executing sale, purchase, lease, and rental registrations at the revenue department office. The decision, made during a review meeting chaired by MCG Commissioner Narhari Singh Banger, aims to address concerns over incorrect property details and flawed databases.
Under the new mandate, property owners must verify their information, including names, plot size, and addresses, on the government portal property.ulbharyana.gov.in. They are also required to clear any outstanding dues and obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC), which is essential for property registration.
Acknowledging the need for community involvement, MCG plans to collaborate with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in a mega campaign to facilitate self-certification. The initiative follows complaints from residents regarding inaccuracies in the newly generated property IDs, highlighting the urgency for rectification.
Commissioner Banger emphasized the significance of self-certification for all property registrations, directing officials to provide necessary support to RWAs in assisting residents. Additionally, properties under other government agencies will undergo the same certification process with MCG's assistance.
Addressing administrative concerns, Banger instructed officials to expedite the issuance of new property IDs and rectify discrepancies in tax data. He stressed the importance of timely resolution of objections in compliance with the Right To Service Act.
Despite challenges, MCG reported a notable increase in property tax revenue, reaching INR 250 crore in the fiscal year 2023-24, representing a 30% rise from the previous year. However, this amount falls short of the INR 500 crore target, indicating ongoing efforts to optimize revenue collection.
As the municipality strives for improved efficiency and accuracy in tax administration, the mandatory self-certification initiative underscores a proactive approach to address longstanding concerns and enhance accountability within the property registration process.
