MLA Seeks Compensation for Lost Property Tax Discount
In Mangaluru, some property owners missed out on a 5% discount on their property tax.
The MLA, D Vedavyas Kamath, is asking the government to fix this.
Usually, people get a discount if they pay their tax early in the year.
But the government changed the rules, and some people paid their taxes before the new discount period was announced.
Now, these people didn't get the discount they should have.
The MLA wants the government to either give the money back or apply the discount to their next tax bill to make things fair.
MLA D Vedavyas Kamath is advocating for property owners in Mangaluru.
Property owners in Mangaluru missed a 5% property tax discount.
The discount was missed due to a delayed government order.

He is urging for refunds or adjustments for the affected individuals.
