Delhi Property Tax: Pay Only Principal, Save Lakhs?
Delhi's MCD has extended its SUNIYO 2.0 amnesty scheme to December 31, 2026. Property owners only need to pay the principal tax amount. All interest and penalties on dues before 2020-21 are fully waived — a big relief for lakhs of Delhi homeowners sitting on old unpaid bills.
A 5-year unpaid ₹50,000 tax bill could carry ₹30,000+ in penalties — now waived for free.
Your old Delhi property tax penalties are completely wiped if you pay by Dec 31

Here's what happened: MCD launched SUNIYO 2.0, an amnesty scheme waiving all interest and penalties on Delhi property tax dues older than the financial year 2020-21.. For dues from FY 2020-21 through FY 2025-26, homeowners must pay the full principal amount — only the penal charges are waived, not the base tax.. The scheme deadline has been extended from September 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026, giving property owners three additional months to settle dues..

Calculate how much you save under SUNIYO 2.0 — if your penalties exceed ₹10,000, apply before December 31, 2026 without delay..

Pro tip: Even if you plan to sell your Delhi property soon, clearing MCD dues under SUNIYO 2.0 removes a legal encumbrance that buyers' lawyers always flag — making your sale faster and cleaner.
