Holiday rush boosts Rohtak MC property tax collection by Rs 80 lakh

The Haryana government's special scheme offering a 100% waiver of interest on pending property tax dues has significantly boosted revenue for the Municipal Corporation (MC) Rohtak. The MC collected approximately Rs 80.25 lakh during the three public holidays from June 27 to 29, 2026, despite the offices remaining open to facilitate taxpayers.

Collection Breakdown and Total Revenue

Of the total amount collected, around Rs 68 lakh was deposited through cash payments, while the remaining Rs 12.25 lakh was paid via online modes by property owners, according to Vipin Narwal, Public Relations Officer of MC Rohtak. With this latest collection, the MC has managed to gather nearly Rs 11 crore in property tax over the past three months, against an annual target of Rs 30 crore.

Interest Waiver Scheme Deadline

The special scheme, which provides a full waiver of interest on pending property tax dues, is scheduled to end on June 30. With only one day remaining, MC officials anticipate a further surge in payments as property owners rush to avail the benefit before the deadline.

Eligibility and Rebate Details

MC Commissioner Narendra Kumar stated that property owners can avail the interest waiver by self-certifying their property details on the Property Tax Outstanding Payment and No Dues Certificate Management System (NDC) portal and clearing their entire outstanding property tax liability up to the assessment year 2026-27. Additionally, the Haryana government has extended a 10% rebate on property tax for the current financial year 2026-27, provided payment is made by July 31.

Appeal to Taxpayers

Commissioner Kumar urged taxpayers with pending dues to use this final opportunity and clear their outstanding payments to benefit from the interest waiver. “Timely payment of property tax is the responsibility of every citizen and helps the MC carry out development works in the city more effectively, including road construction, sanitation services, street lighting and other civic facilities. We appeal to residents to contribute towards the city’s development by ensuring timely payment of their property tax,” he said. Kumar also encouraged citizens to use online payment modes for convenience and safety.
