Extension of SUNIYO Amnesty Scheme and Rules
The Sumpattikar Niptaan Yojana (SUNIYO) played a crucial role in this collection spike by allowing taxpayers to clear current and past dues with waivers on interest and penalties. The MCD has announced important updates regarding the continuation of this scheme for the public:
- The SUNIYO scheme deadline is now extended until April 30, 2026.
- A five percent penalty will be applicable for payments made during this extended period.
- MCD identified new taxpayers using third-party data from trade licenses and electricity records.
- Strict enforcement actions, including the attachment of properties, were taken against long-pending defaulters.
- Officials attribute the record revenue to better compliance measures and increased enforcement under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957.
