The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) has offered 5% rebate in property tax for 2020-2021 if paid between April 1 and May 31. Usually, the rebate is allowed for taxes paid in April. The rebate period has been extended this year in view of the Covid-19 lockdown.
The HDMC has also deferred upward revision of the property tax. Taxpayers have to pay the same amount they paid for the year 2019-2020. Urban local bodies are permitted to revise tax rates once in three years and the HDMC was supposed to revise it for the financial year 2020-2021.
HDMC Commissioner Suresh Itnal said on Wednesday that the revision of tax rate has been deferred in anticipation of the government’s order. He said property owners have to obtain computerised tax challans at their zonal offices after filling the details in the prescribed booklet. If there is any change in the property, they should give a self-declaration in Form 1. Tax can be paid through NEFT or RTGS.
Those paying a tax exceeding Rs 10,000 through cheque/DD can call the helpline number 0836-2213888/2213868 so that the HDMC staff will collect cheques from their homes. Those making online payment can avail assistance from the HDMC website www.hdmc.mrc.gov.in. The commissioner has appealed to those who have not paid their tax for the previous years to make the payment and help development activities of the HDMC.
