Property tax waiver - Pay 2/3rd and you are free

Reported on April 7, 2011 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #9792

We bought a hire & purchase house at sec-14 dwarka in 2001. However, it was in 2004, we started getting communication from MCD for property tax. Since, then we regularly paid property tax every year. Recently, we got to know, we had an outstanding amount of tax (from 2001-2004). We went to ********** tax collector, and we were slapped with a total tax outstanding of Rs 15600. Upon, showing interest that we want to pay off the remaining tax, but couldnt afford to pay all at once, we asked them to help, if this amount can be paid in installments or some of it is waived off.
Tax collector gaves a hint that it is possible to fix complete tax if we pay around Rs 5000 to him, then he ll be able to reduce the tax. Since, we wanted to pay off the tax, we agreed. Later, we paid a cheque of 4800 in the name of MCD and paid cash 5000 to the tax collector and now our tax payable record is clean.
