COLLECTION OF PROPERTY TAX - RWA's CAN ASSIST

Every year MCD announces the Amnesty Scheme and spends crores of rupees on advertisements to encourage people to pay property tax. Reportedly, many people are scared of standing in long queues, and the behaviour of the staff attending to them is also not very pleasant. As a result, they go on postponing the payment and finally miss the deadline.

A suggestion - MCD should make the form consumer friendly, and in case there are no structural changes in theproperty, payment should be accepted with a copy of last year's receipt. RWAs should be roped inwith some incentives to collect the property tax from the residents of their respective colonies on behalf of the MCD.

In my opinion people would gladly pay if they don't have to go to the MCD office and stand in long queues. Why not MCD give it a try.
