On Tuesday, enforcement teams from the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) sealed seven properties throughout the city due to non-payment of property tax dues totaling Rs 1.8 crore, despite the issuance of multiple notices to the property owners.
The sealing operation was conducted by zonal taxation officer Pankaj Kumar, accompanied by tax inspector Pankaj Saluja and their team. MCG officials reported that two properties in Kherki Daula had outstanding dues of Rs 30,82,747 and Rs 19,72,508, respectively. In Mohammadpur Jharsa, two properties were identified with pending tax amounts of Rs 27,35,536 and Rs 22,65,126.
Additionally, a property in Narsinghpur with outstanding dues of Rs 14,04,967 and another in Pace City-1 with dues of Rs 18,17,872 were also sealed. Furthermore, a property in Palam Vihar with pending tax dues of approximately ₹52 lakh was sealed during this operation.
MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya stated, “Property tax serves as the primary source of income for the MCG, which funds the city’s cleanliness, roads, sewers, water supply, and other civic amenities. We will continue to take strict measures, such as sealing, against defaulters who fail to pay their taxes despite receiving repeated notices.” He urged property owners to pay their outstanding property tax promptly to avoid punitive measures, noting that the corporation will enhance its campaign against tax defaulters in the upcoming days.
The sealing drive led to the collection of Rs 7 crore in just one day. To date, MCG has amassed Rs 285 crore in property tax for the current financial year, with officials anticipating further increases by March 2026 as enforcement efforts persist.
This year, MCG and MCM have also implemented artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance property tax revenue. Through AI, residents with outstanding dues are being identified and contacted, their inquiries addressed, and assistance provided in settling pending taxes.
