Pay your MCD property tax by UPIC
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) collects property tax — often called house tax — on properties across Delhi's zones. Each property is identified by a UPIC (Unique Property Identification Code), a 15-digit code tied to the property, and that is what you use to look up or pay your dues on the MCD portal. People search "MCD property tax" most around the filing window, when paying the full year early usually earns a rebate on the tax. This page explains how to find or generate your UPIC, how to search your exact dues on the official MCD portal, how Delhi's unit-area assessment works in principle, how to download a paid receipt, and how to pay through Bharat Connect on Subspace. For the precise amount, the MCD portal's own search is the source of truth.

The UPIC is a 15-digit code for your property. The amount the portal shows against it is the figure to rely on.

- 2If you have paid before, your UPIC is on the earlier receipt; enter it to see your dues.
- 3If you have lost it, use the search option with your registered mobile number, name or old property number.
- 4If the property has no UPIC yet, use Generate UPIC and enter the property details to create one.
How MCD assesses property tax
MCD uses the unit area system: the covered area of the property is multiplied by a base unit area value for its colony category (Delhi colonies are grouped into categories A to H), and by factors for use, age, structure and occupancy, to reach the annual value that is then taxed. Because the colony category, the area and the factors differ for every property, and MCD revises the base values from time to time, this page does not reproduce a rate table. Use the MCD portal, which applies the current values automatically. The table below is a checklist of what you will need on hand.
| Item | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| UPIC | Earlier receipt or Generate UPIC | Identifies your property on the portal |
| Colony category | MCD category list (A–H) | Sets the base unit area value |
| Covered area | Sale deed / sanction plan | Used in the unit area calculation |
| Registered mobile | Linked to the property | Receives the OTP and confirmation |
| Past receipt | Previous payment | Shows last amount and any arrears |
Download your MCD property tax receipt
After payment, MCD records a receipt against your UPIC. On the portal, use the payment-history or receipt option, enter your UPIC, and download the PDF for the year. A Bharat Connect app also keeps its own receipt with a reference number, useful proof if the MCD portal is slow to update. Keep the receipt — it is asked for during property sale, mutation and loan paperwork.
Pay your MCD property tax on Subspace
Open Subspace, go to Municipal Tax and select MCD (Delhi). Enter your UPIC; the dues are fetched from MCD through Bharat Connect (BBPS), so the amount you pay is MCD's own figure, not an estimate. Check the property name and amount, then pay by UPI before the due date to keep any early-payment rebate. The UPIC stays saved for next year, and the same app handles your electricity and water bills too.
Not a ranking of amounts — each route pays the same MCD dues. Bharat Connect routes the payment to MCD and keeps a reference receipt.
