Property tax worth several hundred crores is due to EDMC from several institutions including DDA, Delhi Transco, DUSIB, Power Grid, and the cash-strapped civic body intends to realise the outstanding amount to come out of the red.

“Property tax of approximately Rs 116 crore is due on Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Rs 1.03 crore on Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation, Rs 61 lakh on Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), Rs 88.99 lakh on Delhi Transco Limited, Rs 4.29 crore on Northern Railway and Rs 33.40 crore on Power Grid Corporation of India,” the EDMC said in a statement today.

In case of non-compliance, actions, including penalty, attachment of bank accounts and properties, would be taken,” the EDMC statement quoted East Delhi Mayor Meenakshi as saying.
