Kakinada: Civic chief K Ramesh reviews tax collection

Kakinada: Municipal Corporation (KMC) Commissioner K Ramesh said that KMC has been giving top priority to collection of property tax and recover dues to improve civic amenities and take up more developmental activities in the smart city.

Speaking at review meeting here on Wednesday, he said that property tax collection was the basic income source for the civic body.

Ramesh directed the officials to collect 100 percent house, water and other taxes before March 31. He said that clearing dues was beneficial for property owners too as they could avoid penalty and interest.

With the support of bill collectors and revenue officials, the ward volunteers have been meeting property owners for quick payment of dues, he said.
