1 What is the UP House Tax OTS Scheme?

The One-Time Settlement scheme allows eligible taxpayers to clear covered municipal tax arrears while receiving the interest and surcharge relief specified under the scheme rules. The principal tax remains payable.

Check the official portal for the latest notice and any changes to dates or eligibility.

2 Which taxes are covered?

The scheme covers eligible outstanding dues in these categories:

• House tax: Municipal property or house-tax arrears.
• Water tax: Eligible unpaid municipal water-tax dues.
• Sewer tax: Eligible unpaid sewer-tax dues.

The treatment of a particular property or account depends on the applicable scheme rules. Check whether your property and outstanding period qualify before making a payment.

3 How much can you save?

The amount saved depends on the principal tax and the eligible interest or surcharge shown on your municipal account.

For example, imagine your bill contains the following amounts:

This is an example, not an official calculation. Your actual settlement amount will depend on the municipal assessment and the scheme’s conditions.

Remember: A 100% interest waiver does not mean that the entire tax bill is cancelled. The eligible principal amount must still be paid.
