The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) exchanged ideas and views on property tax revenue mobilisation and solid waste management with visiting delegation of Imphal Municipal Corporation (IMC) on Saturday. The newly formed municipal corporation of Imphal was led by its deputy mayor Sujata Paomei along with 12 councilors who called on SDMC's officiating mayor Satya Pal Malik.

Paomei informed Malik about the newly constituted Imphal MCD which is yet to finalise its act and meeting rules. Malik, on the other hand, briefed the delegation about the executive and deliberative structure and functioning of the house and its statutory and other committees.

The visiting delegation sought information on revenue generation of property tax, steps to increase the number of taxpayers and computerisation of departmental records. Shikha Rai, chairperson of the standing committee stated that the property tax revenue collection is the main source of SDMC's income.

"Hence, the procedure has been simplified to bring more taxpayers in the tax ambit. We initiated self-assessment scheme which helped in removing the obstacles in calculation and collection and brought ample transparency. The base unit area method has proved to be instrumental in enhancing revenue," she said. She further stated that the SDMC has taken a slew of steps to increase property tax collection without making any hike in tax rates.

The visiting delegation stated that in an infant MCD they have been initially given the responsibility of waste management, collection, and management.
