Tax collection by BBMP

BBMP should first collect tax through existing facilities.

For the first time in the history of state legislature, the ruling BJP has got maximum number of seats in Bangalore city. One of the main reasons the elite electorate of Bangalore elected them because of their promise to scrap the CVS tax structure, make amendents to Akrama/sakrama and master plan of Bangalore and make them people friendly. There are already PILS have been filed against AKRAMA and Master Plan

It is unfortunate inspite of Cabinet decision to collect taxes for this year under SAS scheme, the BBMP has not made arrangements to collect the same, one wonder if BBMP is cash rich to carry out the developmental activities with its present financial status. Citizens would appreciate if BBMP first collects 100% tax with the existing system. The Government should then call for suggestions from the citizens on the new system by advertising in local news papers and hold a public debate before taking any decisions.

“The road is broken, buses are overcrowded, traffic disrupts daily life, garbage piles up on the streets”—these are everyday complaints of citizens across Indian cities. In Bengaluru, these issues only seem to be worsening with passing time. Bengaluru’s built-up area grew by 85.19% between 2001 and 2020, resulting in commuters losing 168 hours (one week) annually to traffic congestion. As the city grows rapidly, governance systems, data frameworks, and citizen participation have failed to keep pace with its increasing complexity.
