“Citizens were trained about the process from downloading the mobile app to geotagging the property with photos. Also, citizens were encouraged to geo-tag their properties,” the MCD said in a statement.

Citizens were informed that all those property owners, who are not registered on the property tax portal of MCD, will have to register their properties, generate UPIC and thereafter geotag their properties.
