A delegation from the Kolhapur Municipal Corporation (KMC), led by Commissioner Manjulekshmi, visited the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to study its property tax software, which serves millions of properties. Known for its user-friendly interface and online payment options, BBMP's system streamlines tax collection. KMC officials, including system manager Yashpal Rajput and tax assessor Sudhakar Challewad, observed the digitisation process firsthand at BBMP East Zone. This visit aims to facilitate the implementation of a similar system in Kolhapur, potentially enhancing tax payment ease for residents, improving municipal record-keeping, and increasing tax collection efficiency.
In a move to improve property tax management, a delegation of officials from the Kolhapur Municipal Corporation (KMC) recently visited the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in Bengaluru.
Led by KMC Commissioner Manjulekshmi, the team aimed to gain insights into BBMP's property tax software, known for its user-friendly interface. This software simplifies the process of paying property taxes for Bengaluru's residents. Discussions focused on the software's functionalities, including online payment options and citizen portals. The delegation also learned about the overall property tax system in Bengaluru, including details on the number of properties (potentially in the millions) managed by the BBMP and the tax assessment procedures.
The visit wasn't limited to theory. The Kolhapur delegation, accompanied by their own system manager, Yashpal Rajput, and tax assessor, Sudhakar Challewad, also visited the BBMP East Zone. This firsthand observation allowed them to see the digitisation process in action, from data collection to property record management. This practical knowledge will be valuable for potential implementation in Kolhapur.
This visit signifies a positive step towards knowledge exchange between cities. By sharing best practices in municipal administration, both Kolhapur and Bengaluru can potentially improve their property tax management and implement efficient digitisation initiatives.
The knowledge gained by the KMC delegation could lead to the development of a similar user-friendly property tax system in Kolhapur. Benefits could include easier online tax payments for residents, improved record-keeping for the municipality, and potentially, increased tax collection efficiency. This could lead to a more streamlined and transparent property tax system for Kolhapur.
