The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has extended the amnesty scheme for property tax defaulters to February 28. Defaulters can pay the basic amount plus 25% more, which means they will get 75% rebate on the penalty.
The NMMC had rolled out the scheme for two months with effect from October 1, 2021. Later, the scheme was extended to January 31, 2022.
The civic body had already issued notice to as many as 119 major property tax defaulters, warning that their properties, which had been seized, would be auctioned if they failed to pay tax dues. The civic body has asked the defaulters to pay up online.
“The amnesty scheme has been extended by the civic chief Abhijit Bangar till February 28, owing to the impact of Covid on jobs, business and industries. Everybody has been financially affected. This is the last extension,” said NMMC PRO Mahendra Konde.
