Officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) said that the process of hiring a private agency to survey properties and serve tax notice has moved to an advanced stage, and an agency is likely to be deployed by November.

The agents from the private agency will undertake physical surveys, geo-tag properties and serve tax notices with computerised collection of self-assessment data across the national capital as part of “strengthening the property tax collection.”
