The municipal council of Hazaribag has decided to take strict legal action against those who have not paid different types of tax. The council has issued the order to issue notices to the defaulters .
Town commissioner of Hazaribag Municipal Council Madhavi Mishra said that after joining as town commissioner she found that revenue is the main problem of the council. “I have discussed with the officers and staff regarding different sources of income of the council. There are thousands of people in the municipal areas who have not paid holding tax, trade license tax, water tax and others tax to the council. Due to this problem the council is facing an economic crisis,” she said.
She further said that after issuing notice the council will give them a time period for depositing the pending amount of tax to the council. “We are also going to re-estimate the houses according to their constructed areas. We have started the massive drive for water tax users,” she said.
The same type of operation will be started by such firms who have not taken the license for trading the commodities. Those who have taken the license but not the tax to the council, notice will be issued to them, said Mishra.
