Municipal Corporation App To Streamline House Tax Payments And Objections, Launching In April
Lucknow, February 10 (TNA) The Municipal Corporation will launch a new app in April to simplify house tax payments and the resolution of objections. The app will allow residents to check their tax dues, make payments, and register complaints, which will be addressed within seven days.
The app is currently in the final stages of its security testing. As of now, 6.17 lakh building owners have registered their mobile numbers with the Corporation, and this number is expected to exceed 8 lakh in the future.
Starting Wednesday, house tax defaulters will begin receiving notices via WhatsApp, with a link for direct payment. The app, equipped with Level 1 and Level 2 security features, will ensure the safety of payments and prevent cyber fraud.
Additionally, online payment will be available through associated banks, making it more convenient for residents, especially those in extended areas, who will no longer need to travel long distances to the office for tax-related tasks. The initiative aims to enhance efficiency and security in tax collection.
