All You Need To Know About SAMRIDDHI 2022-23
Vinai Kumar Saxena, the lieutenant governor of Delhi, announced the commencement of the "SAMRIDDHI 2022тАУ23" one-time┬аproperty tax┬аamnesty program, claiming that it will be a conspicuous relief for thousands of city residents and business property owners.┬аTax liability is disregarded, putting more money in taxpayers' pockets and bringing in more money for MCD. The new amnesty plan will broaden the tax base even more and help MCD create a reliable tax database by being more pragmatic about the enforcement of its unpaid tax obligations.
The tax amnesty program offers "One Plus Five" and "One Plus Six" options for residential and non-residential properties, respectively.
Residential property owners will be able to pay only the principal property tax for the current and the previous five years under the SAMRIDDHI 2022тАУ23 plan. According to an official statement, commercial property owners can pay the principal for the previous six years and receive a waiver on prior due payments, including penalty and interest.
Enumeration Of The Scheme
Residential property taxpayers are required to pay the principal amount of property tax for the current year and the previous five years (i.e., FY 2022тАУ23 + FYs 2017тАУ18 to 2021тАУ22), after which 100% interest and penalty on the outstanding tax amount are exempted and all previous dues prior to 2017тАУ18 are waived. This payment requirement is known as the "One Plus Five" policy.
Similar to this, the "One Plus Six" scheme for non-residential properties requires property owners to pay the principal amount of property tax for the current year and the previous six years (i.e., FY 2022тАУ23 + FYs 2016тАУ17 to 2021тАУ22), after which 100% interest and penalties on the outstanding tax amount are exempted and all prior dues from before 2016тАУ17 are entirely waived.┬а
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi's SAMRIDDHI 2022тАУ23 program, according to the Lt. Governor, is a people-friendly initiative that will greatly relieve citizens' concerns and invigorate property owners to resolve long-standing disputes and associated harassment.
He continued by saying that the tax liability waiver puts more money in the hands of taxpayers and generates more cash for MCD, allowing the civic organization to complete much-needed civic infrastructure projects for enhanced service delivery to Delhi residents.
Aims And Benefits Of The Scheme
The plan intends to resolve thousands of unresolved court cases that have accumulated since the unit area method of calculating property taxes was implemented in 2004.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the citizens of the city will both benefit from the program.
After paying taxes for 1+5 years and 1+6 years under this plan, the taxpayer will have no further obligations. After a year of review of this payment, the dispute will be resolved. Roads, parks, and schools will be developed with the money raised by the levy.
