"Previously, the corporation distributed bills twice annually to over 3.5 lakh property owners. Limited staff caused delays in distribution and tax collection. Hence, I have instructed swift distribution with additional personnel, implementing a single annual distribution system. The property tax department has recruited women from self-help groups to ensure prompt bill distribution and inform residents about tax concession schemes. Residents are advised to share their mobile phone numbers and email addresses with these representatives for property linking and SMS alerts.

NMMC now offers straightforward property tax payments both manually and online with annual billing. Speaking about the reforms in property tax collection and encouraging public cooperation, Shinde said: "This year, many important decisions were taken to make property tax collection more dynamic and citizen-friendly. The new system of 'One Year, One Bill', linking KYC to tax bills, online availability of property tax bills, effective use of digital methods of tax payment, and participation of women from self-help groups in bill distribution will not only make the tax collection system easier for citizens, but also provide planning and speed to tax collection.

Lidl is selling £9.99 garden gadget that will keep your lawn clear of clutter – and it's a fraction of Screwfix price
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. Find out what it is and how you can use it OH MY LAWN Lidl is selling £9.99 garden gadget that will keep your lawn clear of clutter – and it's a fraction of Screwfix price LIDL has a cheap outdoor gadget that will help keep your garden clear of waste and clutter. Being sold for under £10, it is a fraction of the price that other retailers are offering for their equivalent of the product. 3 Lidl is selling this garden gadget for £9.99 with 1-year warranty Credit: Lidl It is a 25L Incinerator that can be used to burn garden waste in an simple and safe way. A garden incinerator is a useful addition to the garden tools to dispose of organic waste, and they save having to make trips to the dump. Lid's Incinerator is made from durable galvanised steel, and measures 57 x 35 x 32 cm with a 25-litre capacity. It also comes with a chimney lid to keep the garden incinerator hot so it can burn effectively, whilst allowing for ventilation. Other outlets have garden incinerators available, however, cost almost double the price. At Toolstation, their 13L Incinerator is being sold for £18.98. Also made from galvanised steel, with ventilation holes on the sides and bottom for draught, it is smaller than Lidl's version. Both items though are smaller than the 80L Apollo Galvanised Incinerator Bin from Screwfix, which costs £28.99. They are therefore good for managing smaller amounts of garden waste, and do not take up too much room in the garden. Experts at Homebase have outlined some safety guidelines for using a garden incinerator. Parents race to Lidl for middle aisle bargains including 2 in 1 sandpit for £29 First of all, having gardening gloves, safety goggles and a dust mask are recommended. They also suggest incinerating away from any building or structure, roads, and trees, and being on stable bare ground. It is not advised to use the incinerator bin in very windy or very dry conditions, as burning embers can be blown long distances which can increase the risk of accidental fires. To light the incinerator, line it with scrunched up newspaper that is not scrunched up too tight, followed by a loose layer of dry twigs or grass. The paper can then be lit, and garden waste can be added as a blaze has started going. Things like plastic, food waste, wooden objects and furniture should not be burnt, only hedge or grass cuttings, leaves and twigs or branches. Ash that is left over from burning can then be left over night to cool, and removed into an airtight bag or container using a mug or trowel. This cheap garden buy from Lidl is among several good outdoor bargains being offered by Lidl, including some LED lighting, and toys. Transform your garden into a summer paradise BRITS are sprucing up their gardens just in time for summer and top gadgets are the secret to turning your outdoor space from drab to fab on a budget.
