Continuing its drive to disconnect water and sewerage connections of the property tax defaulters in the city , the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) cracked down on three such defaulters on Saturday.
The MCG officials said that they have a list of 702 property tax defaulters whose connections will be cut in the days to come if they fail to pay their dues.
“Water and sewerage connections of three properties, including one property in Sector 45, another in Kadipur enclave and third one in Shivaji Park, were disconnected as the property owners had not paid their dues. The drive will continue and the teams will disconnect connections as per the list of defaulters provided by the taxation department,” said SS Rohilla, MCG spokesperson.
The civic body had started the drive after Diwali. As the officials have now reworked the slabs, the property tax defaulters who have dues amounting between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh face disconnection of their water and sewerage connections while the properties of the defaulters with dues more than Rs 5 lakh will be sealed.
A one-time rebate of 25% will be given to the owners, who have pending tax dues since financial year 2010-11, if they clear the dues till financial year 2019-20 by December 31. Moreover, the deadline to avail 10% rebate on the property tax for the year 2020-21 has also been extended to December 31.
