Filing your property tax return in Delhi is now more straightforward with the unified MCD portal.

The following sections will guide you through each step involved in this process.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this user manual is to outline the steps for e-filing property tax returns on the MCD portal. This manual is designed to help taxpayers understand how to manage their property tax obligations, including e-filing, UPIC management, geotagging, and more.

2. About Property Tax

Property tax is a vital civic responsibility for all property owners within the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Following the unification of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), the process has been centralized, allowing for a more streamlined approach to managing property taxes.
