Prayagraj PMC Simplifies Tax Payments with QR Codes, Restricts Cash
Imagine you need to pay your house tax.
Now, the city is making it easier!
They're putting special QR code stickers on buildings.
You can scan the code with your phone to pay online or pay the tax collector when they visit.
Also, to make sure everything is fair, you can only pay cash at the city's official counters, not with the tax collectors.
This helps keep track of all the money and makes paying your taxes simpler.
Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) is implementing QR code stickers for house tax and water tax payments.
QR codes will be placed on buildings to facilitate online and offline tax payments.
Cash payments for house tax are now restricted to official PMC counters.
This change aims to increase transparency and reduce financial irregularities.
The PMC is encouraging digital payments and minimizing cash transactions.
