GHMC Expands and Reorganizes Operations

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has made some big changes.

First, they stopped accepting cash for property tax, trade licence fees, and vacant land tax.

Now, you have to pay using cheques, UPI, credit/debit cards, or net banking.

This applies to all 60 areas under GHMC control, including the new areas that were recently added.

The GHMC wants to make sure everyone pays taxes in the same way, making the process easier and more uniform.

You can make these payments at special collection points or citizen service centres.

Additionally, the GHMC has assigned senior officers to oversee activities like issuing building permits and enforcing rules against illegal constructions.

They also introduced self-assessment for property tax and assigned specific officials to handle different property sizes and tax amounts.

This is all part of their efforts to improve efficiency and accountability.
