JAIPUR: The Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) has ramped up its efforts to recover outstanding urban development (UD) taxes, taking decisive action against defaulters in the Murlipura zone. On Friday, five properties were attached due to unpaid dues.
Following this action, the property owners quickly paid approximately Rs 8 lakh through RTGS, cheques, and cash, making use of the state government’s current waiver on interest and penalties.
Murlipura zone DC Pawan Kumar Sharma stated, “Property owners benefited from the state government’s waiver, which allowed them to clear their dues immediately. This approach promotes transparency and ensures prompt recovery, while emphasizing the importance of compliance.”
The properties attached included: Plot No 11, Khasra No 906, 907, Dev Nagar, Badarna; Plot No 1/2/3, Khasra No 906, 907, Dev Nagar, Badarna; 55 JA Colony, near Shiv Shakti Misthan Bhandar, VKI Road No 17; and 54 JS Colony, also near Shiv Shakti Misthan Bhandar, VKI Road No 17.
Moreover, two marriage halls were sealed for failing to pay their registration fees, both located in JS Colony, close to Laxmi School, Road No 17.
Sharma affirmed, “JMC will maintain strict enforcement. Properties whose owners neglect to pay their dues will face attachment or sealing. Our objective is to ensure timely tax collection, uphold financial stability for the corporation, and maintain compliance with municipal regulations.”
