Officials said that NDMC has rolled out a new amnesty scheme in order to provide relief to the residents living in areas falling within Lal Dora, extended Lal Dora, extended 'abadi' of village and 544 unauthorised regularised colonies and unauthorised colonies and properties allotted to the Kashmiri migrants.
In a statement, NDMC said that the scheme is operational till the end of next month. According to the scheme, residents of unauthorised regularised colonies and unauthorised colonies, will have to pay the property tax for financial year 2021-22, and preceding due tax will be waived off, the NDMC said.
