Municipal administration minister Manugunta Maheedhar Reddy on Monday
said no interest would be collected on property tax dues in
municipalities and corporations if the tax is paid before this March 31.
The
municipal authorities usually collect interest on late payment of
property taxes. “No interest will be collected if the dues are paid
before March 31. The layout regularisation schemes (LRS) will be
extended by three more months in newly formed Nagara Panchayats,” he
said.
The minister said arrangements have been made to face
drinking water crisis in summer. “There won’t be any drinking water
problem in Hyderabad till July,” he said.
When asked about
conducting elections in municipalities and corporations, the minister
said elections would be conducted only after the poll process for
mandals, grama panchyats and zilla parishads gets completed.
