MCD property tax software crashes

NEW DELHI: A large number of people were unable to avail of the 15 per cent rebate on property tax as the online system of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi crashed on the last date for filing of property tax on Tuesday. Though the civic body had kept its centres open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., people preferred to use the online system rather than submit it manually at the 12 zonal offices and headquarters of MCD. MCD spokesperson Deep Mathur said: “During the past three days, the online system was slow because it was being hit 3,500 times per minute, peak time being from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This crash occurred last year as well due to the last-minute rush. However, there is no question of extending the June 30 deadline.”
