The remaining 95,331 taxpayers paid Rs35.97 crore at zonal offices and special camps. The trend signals both improved compliance and a rising preference for digital modes of payment. NMC commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari rolled out the rebate scheme to encourage early payments. The scheme, backed by an aggressive outreach strategy, was instrumental in improving the tax collection. In the light of early trends and collection patterns, Chaudhari has revised the revenue target to Rs400 crore from Rs350 crore set earlier. Compared to Rs73.13 crore collected in the same quarter last year, this year's tally marks a 20% increase — affirming the success of NMC's digital push and incentive-led model. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Post the first quarter, the civic body is offering rebates of 10% for online and 5% for offline property tax payments made till Dec 31, 2025.
