Karnataka to Tax Unauthorised Rural Properties by July

The Karnataka government plans to start taxing all properties in rural areas, even those built without permission, by mid-July.

This is part of a new law.

The government hopes this will bring in more money.

The state's Rural Development department collected a large amount of revenue this year.

The government also mentioned providing jobs through MGNREGA and improving water access through the Jal Jeevan Mission.

There's disagreement over funding for the water project, with the state criticizing the central government for not releasing funds promptly.
