Civic body aims to increase tax collection from all existing units
With the civic body polls due in April, the elected wing of the BJP-led South Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday rejected the proposal to increase property tax rates. This was decided during the discussion on the budget estimates for the year 2022-23.
SDMC’s Leader of the House Indrajeet Sehrawat (BJP) said the decision will not affect the civic body’s estimated expenditure which stands at ₹4,830.57.
He added, “We aim to increase the property tax collection from all the existing units. There is no need to increase rates. At least 4.5 lakh people are paying tax out of 20 lakh units under the SDMC . We need to ensure that the remaining people pay their taxes,” he said, adding that no figures were immediately available on the collection till date.
