JAIPUR: On Tuesday, the Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) sealed four properties in the Civil Lines zone due to outstanding urban development tax.
Nine properties were reviewed for recovery, with five owners settling their dues immediately, resulting in approximately Rs 12 lakh collected. The four remaining properties were sealed in compliance with regulations.
Civil Lines Divisional Commissioner Devanand Sharma stated, “During the operation, owners of five properties paid their outstanding dues. The attachment and sealing of the four properties followed the established rules. Efforts are ongoing to recover the pending amounts, together with applicable interest and penalties as set by the state government.”
JMC Commissioner Gaurav Saini emphasized the corporation’s strict stance against defaulters. “We will not ease regulations regarding the collection of overdue urban development tax. The process of sealing and attaching properties will persist for those who do not pay their taxes promptly. Efficient revenue collection is crucial for funding development projects in the city,” he remarked.
