The 141 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), other than GHMC, had collected about ₹495 crore and another ₹226 crore of arrears, making for a total of over ₹720 crore. The precise demand for the 20,24,315 properties has been ₹531 crore with arrears coming to ₹268 crore or a total of about ₹799 crore, said Director of Municipal Administration (DMA) N.
