Mega tax collection camp was organised on Sunday. This year, due to COVId-19 lockdown Property Tax collection drive is also affected and compared to last year it has recovered 28 per cent less. Last year the figure was Rs 62.31 crore.
That means Rs 3.58 crore more was recovered. Notably from August 4 Property Tax collection has been started at wards. Bhopal Municipal Corporation has started to facilitate this service as soon as total lockdown was over. This facility has been started to facilitate people to pay taxes on time and also to accelerate tax collection process by Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC). Before COVID-19 lockdown, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) was conducting a special drive for tax recovery by organising recovery camps in all the wards of the city.
Complaint books will also be made available at ward offices where citizens will be able to register their civic problems. Bhopal Municipal Commissioner KVS Chaudhary has directed officials to redress complaints of citizens as early as possible. A review meeting regarding this was held last week over total collection in which Divisional Commissioner Kavindra Kiyawat and Bhopal Municipal Corporation Commissioner KVS Chaudhary were present in the meeting.
