MCD SUNIYO Scheme: What Is the Last Date to Pay Property Tax Under the SUNIYO Scheme?

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has extended the deadline for its SUNIYO property tax waiver scheme, giving property owners additional time to regularise outstanding dues. 

The extension allows eligible taxpayers to pay pending property tax for earlier financial years without incurring interest or penalties, while continuing with the existing late fee structure.

SUNIYO Scheme Deadline Extension

The MCD has announced that the SUNIYO property tax waiver scheme will now remain open until February 28, 2026. This extension offers property owners another opportunity to clear long-pending property tax liabilities under relaxed conditions, as reported in recent updates.

The mayor has encouraged taxpayers to make use of the extended window and settle outstanding dues within the revised deadline.

Eligibility and Waiver Benefits

Under the SUNIYO scheme, property owners can avail a complete waiver of interest and penalties for property tax dues relating to the financial year 2020–21 and earlier. 

To qualify, taxpayers are required to pay only the principal tax amount for the current year and the financial years from 2020–21 to 2024–25.

This structure aims to ease the financial burden on property owners while improving overall tax compliance.

MCD SUNIYO Late Fee Structure

The late fee under the scheme remains unchanged at 5% for payments made between January 1, 2026, and January 31, 2026.

No additional interest or penalties are levied for eligible past dues covered under the scheme, provided payments are made within the stipulated timeframe.

Collection Performance So Far

As of February 1, 2026, a total of 1,78,923 taxpayers have availed the SUNIYO scheme, contributing ₹1,032.91 crore in property tax collections.

Residential properties accounted for ₹200.45 crore from 1,28,802 units, while non-residential properties contributed ₹832.45 crore from 50,121 units. Additionally, 96,169 new taxpayers made their first-time payments under the scheme, amounting to ₹367.26 crore.

Overall Property Tax Collection This Financial Year

Including collections made through the SUNIYO scheme, total property tax revenue for the current financial year has reached ₹2,828.49 crore, received from 12,62,977 taxpayers. This figure includes contributions from both existing and newly registered property owners.
