@ Dhiraj..VMC also proposed an increase in annual water charges from Rs 850 to Rs 1,200 which will increase the collection of corporation by Rs 16 crore. But the standing committee increased water charges to Rs 1000 per year andpProposal to increase 20 percent in gas price has been accepted by the committee. But i don;t think they will meet their annual budget target even after this.
Nobody is talking about Vadodara..property tax has also increased..VMC has increased the residential property tax rate by 50 percent. The civic body proposed increase in property tax of domestic assets from Rs 11 per sq m to Rs 20 per sq m. But it has been increased to Rs 16 per sq m.
But yes the vehicle tax in Ahmedabad has been reduced by 0.25 percent on loading rickshaw and auto rickshaw. and now water meter installation is mandatory in all non residential and residential properties in Ahmedabad. This was also approved by the standing committee.
Hi..all the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) accepted the proposal to increase residential property tax rate by 60 percent i.e from 10 per sq m to Rs 16 per sq m and 27 percent hike in commercial property tax rates i.e from Rs 22 per sq m to Rs 28 per sq m approximately. Earlier the AMC proposed a 100 percent hike in tax for residential properties and 45 percent for non-residential properties.
The standing committees of Ahmedabad and Vadodara have declared hike in property tax by 60 percent and 50 percent respectively in their revised budget 2013-14.A total budget of Rs 4,951 crore for the Ahmedabad civic body has also been approved. Earlier the civic body commissioner proposed a budget of Rs 4,425 crore.
Hi Tarun..few days back the budget proposed 82 percent hike in property tax. There were several other tax increment also suggested like water charges, gas, street light. You know Ahmedabad Corporation proposed 100 percent hike in property tax. I think so that they will get approved.
