AMC records higher property tax collection
AHMEDABAD: In the times of recession Amdavadis have come out in good numbers to pay their property taxes. According to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), it has recorded an increase of 50% over last year's revenue collection through property tax.
For the three months, April May and June, property tax collection for the civic body was about Rs 11.57 crore as against Rs 7.73 crore last year. Nearly 60 per cent of the revenue came from the new west zone, according to senior AMC officials. This was a result of spot registration and filing of property
taxes. "We had created squads that went around the new west zone and identified properties that were not registered with the AMC," said a senior AMC official.
