Property tax payable in instalments
KANPUR: House owners of the city may pay the property tax (Saral Kar) in three instalments iinstead of one-time payment, according to Rajeev Sharma, city commissioner, Kanpur Nagar Nigam (KNN).
Addressing mediapersons, the city commissioner said that so far house owners have to pay the house tax in one time, but now they can pay in instalments. Under the new scheme, house owners have to pay forty per cent of the house tax in the first installment and the rest amount would be payable in two instalments.
Talking about the problems of the city, especially sanitation, city commissioner, KNN, mentioned that within two months, all those areas which were dug up by Jal Sansthan for laying down the deep sewer line would be levelled very soon. For this fly ash from Panki thermal power station would be used to level the road.
Moreover, encroachment drive would restart again. Legal proceedings would be initiated against those who would create hurdles in the anti-encroachment drive. Action would also be taken against those who would park their vehicles on open land instead of parking them at authorised Nagar Nigam stand, he added
