Mysuru: Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh has ordered the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to adopt the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) model for tax collection, expressing dissatisfaction over missed targets in Property Tax and water bill collection.
He questioned the lack of stringent tax enforcement despite demands for hundreds of crores of rupees in grants. MCC Commissioner Shaikh Tanveer Asif reported that 82 percent of Property Tax and 65 percent of water charges have been collected so far. Efforts are underway to recover the remaining 18 percent of Property Tax, targeting the top 100 tax-payers in each Revenue Inspector’s jurisdiction.
