South Corporation starts call centre for tax-related queries

Staff Reporter

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has started a call centre to address people’s tax-related queries and grievances. The provision has been made in order to meet the Corporation’s earning target of Rs.702 crore for the current financial year.

The development comes after the online portal for the payment of property tax at the SDMC recently faced some glitches. Now anybody facing a problem while paying their taxes at the SDMC can call on 23227008 or send an e-mail to anc-sdmc@mcd.gov.in for getting their grievance redressed.

“We want to iron out the roadblocks faced by the residents in the process of tax payments and are eager to improve the delivery of our services. We are also seriously pursuing the target of Rs.702 crore in revenue for this financial year,” said an SDMC official.

Commenting on the technical problems which occurred in the portal leading to its inability to process cases, SDMC public relations officer Mukesh Yadav said: “The glitches occurred due to trifurcation of the website which was supposed to cater to all the three corporations. Within two to three days the problems will be rectified.”
