After Rs 40 crore spent, BMC to abolish octroi
MUMBAI: The BMC’s plan to introduce local body tax (LBT) by abolishing octroi in October may make the Rs 40 crore spent on octroi naka upgradation seem like a waste.
The BMC
is studying taxation rate and has nakas at Dahisar, Lal Bahadur Shastri
Marg, Eastern Express Highway, Mulund-Airoli and Vashi. “When we
decided to rest-ore nakas, the LBT decision was not taken,” said chief
city engineer Jeevan Padgaonkar.
