Chennaites, Have You Paid Your Property Tax? Here's Step By Step Guide To Pay Online

Starting from May 1, Chennaities will not get a 5 per cent discount on paying their annual tax property.

April 30 is the last day for property tax payment with a 5 per cent rebate. "Dear #Chennaiites,Be a part of #Chennai's development by promptly paying your property tax! Get a 5% incentive on paying your property tax for the 1st half year of 2024-25," the Greater Chennai Corporation said in a post on X.

Those paying from tomorrow have to shell out a one per cent penalty with interest despite missing on the five per cent discount.
