Guwahati: The refusal of one lakh sixty five thousand (1.65 lakh) registered households in Guwahati to pay their fair share of property taxes in the last fiscal year has prompted the the cash-strapped Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) to step up its bid against evaders with a new initiative to integrate property tax with electricity consumer numbers.
The GMC says that going forward, property owners will have to link their holding numbers with their Assam Power Distribution Corporation Limited (APDCL) consumer numbers.
Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) Mayor Mrigen Sarania, issuing a warning to defaulters at the GMC’s Guwahati office on Friday, said that failure to pay taxes will result in the seizure of properties “as per options available under the law”.
