Kanpur civic body to send house tax bills through SMS from next year

To execute this plan, KMC has entered into contract with an ITI company of Lucknow which has started door-to-door survey in 110 wards of the city collecting data of house owners and their contact numbers.

From next year, Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) will be sending house tax bills to house owners through SMS. To execute this plan, KMC has entered into contract with an ITI company of Lucknow which has started door-to-door survey in 110 wards of the city collecting data of house owners and their contact numbers.

So far, KMC has been realizing house tax from 4.15 lakh residential and commercial properties through manual bills but due to shortage of staff, the bills did not reach them in time and therefore they did not get rebate.

The KMC officials, after seeking help of digital management, decided to send the bills via SMS as this would reduce pressure on KMC staff.

.According to municipal commissioner Akshay Tripathi, the KMC had collected mobile numbers of around 60000 house owners for sending house tax bills via SMS. From next financial year, every house owner would get the bill on his/her mobile phone, he added.

Rahul Sabbarwal, IT manager, smart city mission said, “KMC will send a link with SMS, and the house owner have to open that link and after which he will get the details of his bill”. The house tax could be deposited on line too, he added.
