Delhi: NDMC offers 10 pc rebate on property tax payment till June 30
New Delhi, June 13
The New Delhi Municipal Council announced a rebate of 10 per cent on property tax for the financial year 2026-27 if taxpayers pay their dues on or before June 30, an official said on Saturday.
All property owners are encouraged to avail the scheme by making timely payment of their Property Tax and thereby enjoy substantial savings through the rebate offered by NDMC, said a statement.
Property owners may make their tax payments through the online portal of NDMC or by using other authorised modes of payment as notified by the Council, it said.
The NDMC appealed to all its area taxpayers to avoid the last-minute rush and make their payments well before the due date to avail the rebate benefit.
For further information and assistance, taxpayers may contact the Tax Department, NDMC, during office hours or visit the official website, said the statement.
Earlier, NDMC Vice Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal launched project D.R.O.P. (Develop Responsible Outlook for Plastic) in collaboration with an automobile maker and the Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA).
The initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening scientific plastic waste management, promoting recycling, and fostering greater public participation in environmental sustainability.
On the occasion, Chahal unveiled the D.R.O.P. Community Bins, manufactured from recycled plastic waste, and flagged off the D.R.O.P. Collection Vehicle, marking the operational launch of a structured end-to-end plastic waste collection, segregation and recycling system across the NDMC area, in the presence of Anil Valmiki, Council Member, NDMC; Ajay Garg, Secretary, IPCA; Radha Goyal, Deputy Director, IPCA; Atul Sood, Senior Vice President of the automobile manufacturer, Shakuntala Shrivastava, Medical Officer of Health, NDMC; along with senior officers, representatives of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), Market Traders Associations (MTAs) and other stakeholders.
After inaugurating the D.R.O.P. (Develop Responsible Outlook for Plastic) bins, Chahal said that the NDMC has been successfully working with the Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA) since 2021 in the field of solid waste management.
"Under this collaboration, 115 aerobins have been installed, 62,958 kilograms of wet waste have been scientifically processed and 10,013 kilograms of compost have been produced. Building on this success, the NDMC and IPCA are now implementing Project D.R.O.P., under which dedicated plastic collection bins will be installed across the NDMC area. The project will ensure systematic collection, transportation, segregation and recycling of plastic waste through authorised recycling channels," he said.
Highlighting the significance of the initiative, Chahal said, "Project D.R.O.P. is a transformative step towards advancing the vision of Swachh Bharat, Mission LiFE and Viksit Bharat @2047 envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

Finally some proactive planning from NDMC! But I'm more impressed by the D.R.O.P. plastic waste initiative. 62,000 kg of wet waste processed is no joke - that's real impact. Hope they expand these bins across more colonies. Swachh Bharat needs this kind of local action. 🇮🇳
Another rebate scheme - great, but what about the people who already paid early? Feels like a penalty for being responsible. Also, NDMC should clarify if this applies to all property types or just residential. The article is vague on that. Need better transparency.
As a foreigner living in Delhi, I'm glad to see civic bodies taking sustainability seriously. The D.R.O.P. project shows real intent. But property tax rebates should come with better services - my street still has potholes and garbage piles. Let's fix basics first, no?
I took advantage of last year's rebate and it was smooth. But this year, the June 30 deadline is too close to monsoon season - everyone's busy with rains. Why not extend to July 15? Also, will D.R.O.P. bins be locked? In our area, people dump everything if bins are open. Hope they learned from past mistakes.
Appreciate the environment focus - 10,000 kg compost from wet waste is impressive! But wish NDMC would also address the air quality crisis. A 10% tax rebate is fine, but what about rebates for installing solar panels or rainwater harvesting? That would be truly transformative.
