MYSURU: Mysuru
City Corporation is woefully
behind its target on revenue collection this fiscal.
As against
Rs 221 crore it projected at the start of this financial year by way of property tax, it has collected only Rs
87.80 crore till February-end. With one month to go for the end of FY 2016-17,
the civic body is facing an uphill task of collecting Rs 134 crore by the end
of March to meet the target.
MCC
commissioner G Jagadeesh on Friday said that the civic body has collected Rs
87.80 crore, while Rs 134 crore is pending. "This is affecting development
works taken up in the city," he stated, urging property owners to pay
taxes.
Setting a
15-day deadline to make payments, he warned of action in case of default. Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act (1976) empowers the civic body to
attach the property of erring owners, he stated. MCC will attach properties in
case of failure to pay the tax within 15 days, he stated. tnn
