Property tax collection under the ‘Early Bird’ scheme has hit an all-time record in GHMC this year, with maximum amount received through online payment modes.
The total collection through all the channels at the end of the working day on Saturday stood at a little over ₹708 crore, which is 30% higher than the collection last year through the scheme. Deadline for payment is up to 12 a.m. on Sunday through online channels.
What’s more, the collection this year was only for the customary one month from April 1 to April 30, while last year, the scheme was extended up to May 31 owing to the situation spawned by the second wave of COVID-19.
