Interest waiver on property tax arrears

Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has announced the continuation of its One Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme 2025–26, offering substantial relief to property tax defaulters by providing a 90 per cent waiver on accumulated interest on arrears. Under the scheme, property owners can clear their long-pending dues by paying the entire principal tax amount along with just 10 per cent of the accrued interest, in a single payment. The remaining 90 per cent of the interest will be waived, easing the financial burden on taxpayers and encouraging voluntary compliance. The GHMC has urged citizens to make use of this limited-period opportunity and contribute to the city’s development. Payments under the OTS scheme can be made conveniently through multiple channels, including the MyGHMC mobile application, MeeSeva centres, GHMC Citizen Service Centres (CSCs) and other online payment platforms.
