MANGALURU: In an effort to enhance revenue collection, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has initiated a ward-wise survey to accurately assess the number of properties and boost revenue further.
MCC revenue officials have conducted multiple preparatory meetings to plan spot inspections for this survey. The first phase was inaugurated by MCC commissioner Ravichandra Naik in the Attavar ward on Friday.
MCC’s deputy commissioner (revenue in-charge), Akshatha K, informed TOI that the city corporation currently oversees 222,256 properties spread across 60 wards within its jurisdiction.
“We aim to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the actual number of properties in each ward, with our teams led by revenue inspectors responsible for the survey,” she further stated.
In this initial phase, a sample survey will be conducted in three wards: Hampankatta, Attavar, and Padavu. Upon completion, MCC plans to expand the survey to all remaining wards, as noted by Akshatha.
“So far, we have collected ₹103.5 crore towards our target of ₹112 crore for the current fiscal year. There are approximately 90,000 properties yet to be accounted for, and this survey will provide us with the necessary clarity,” she added.
