| Delhi LG launches scheme to reward RWAs for property tax compliance | | | agencies
NEW DELHI, July 11: Lt Governor of Delhi V K Saxena on Monday launched an incentive scheme for resident welfare associations to ensure property tax compliance and waste management in the city.
Under the SAH-BHAGITA scheme, RWAs (Resident Welfare Associations) will get 15 per cent of the total collection of property tax for development works in their areas.
The scheme will incentivise RWAs on achieving 90 per cent tax collection from total number of properties in their societies or colonies, allowing them to recommend development work to the tune of 10 per cent of the collected tax amount, with a cap of Rs one lakh, said a statement from LG office.
Further, an additional 5 per cent of the tax collected will be provided if a residential colony implements 100 per cent waste segregation at source, composting, recycling of recyclable dry waste, it said.
Saxena last week had invited suggestions from the people to improve the MCD's poor financial health and also urged them to "honestly pay" their property taxes and dues to make the civic body financially stable.
"MCD services 94 per cent of Delhi. Past financial mismanagement & non payment of any property tax by 75 per cent residents has made it go in RED. It's time we-one of the richest cities in India, pay our dues to MCD honestly. Your suggestions & participation will help achieve this," he had tweeted.
The LG announced major policy changes in the property tax structure of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and launched SAH-BHAGITA scheme, making RWAs partners in tax collection and waste management ecosystem, the LG office statement said.
