A few months ago, Sneha (name changed) had been to the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) branch office near her home to pay the house tax. She was aware that she was eligible for a 5% discount if she paid the taxes due for the current year before the 31st of May. The concerned clerk at the MCC Office asked her to leave her filled-in form and her mobile number with him. He mentioned that he would call her within a week or two once he had verified the details and she could pay the tax after that.
