Geotagging properties means digitally mapping a property with the geographic information system (GIS). This means that a property can be identified on a map with its unique and permanent latitude and longitude coordinates. To do this, property owners must download MCD's mobile app, and while present at their property, select the "current location" and link it with any unique property identification code (UPIC).
Delhi is estimated to have more than 3 million buildings, but only 1.3 million are registered with MCD.
The purpose of geotagging properties is to bring more property owners under the tax net and improve the delivery of civic services, officials said.
"Geotagging of properties by taxpayers will provide a location-wise identification of individual properties and will enable better provisioning of service delivery to residents. It will also help catch properties that are not paying taxes," said an MCD official, on condition of anonymity.
