The posh colonies in the city may soon have to shell out more money in terms of property tax due to the land appreciation in their respective areas even though as far as civic infrastructure is concerned, they are still lagging behind.
Realising this, a number of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in the city have already submitted their objections to the Delhi government constituted Municipal Valuation Committee.
The committee has recommended upgrading 168 colonies in the city on account of their proximity to the Metro lines and land appreciation that they have witnessed over the years. Presently, the Municipal Valuation Committee is holding several hearing sessions wherein the objections and the suggestions submitted by the residents and others are being heard.
Areas under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) are at present divided into categories A to H depending on the infrastructural facilities present there.
