GHMC to Issue Trade Licenses to 3.5 Lakh Properties
The city government is going to give trade licenses to all businesses in the area.
This means any place that isn't a house and does business needs a special permit.
The people in charge of giving out these permits and collecting fees are changing.
Before, one group did it, but now a different group will take over.
The leaders are keeping track of how things are going to make sure everyone gets their license.
GHMC will issue trade licenses to all 3.5 lakh non-residential properties.
Deputy commissioners will now handle trade license issuance and fee collection.
This responsibility previously belonged to the property tax wing.
Zonal commissioners were instructed to submit weekly progress reports.
The directive aims to streamline trade license procedures.
