NMMC Property Tax Reform: Comprehensive Governance and Digital Transformation
Problem
- The manual property tax assessment system was slow, error-prone, and inconsistent, leading to disputes and inefficiencies.
- Citizens faced confusing billing cycles, extensive paperwork, and limited payment modes, creating hardship.
- Revenue leakages and delayed collections strained NMMC’s finances, affecting essential civic services.
- Lack of transparency eroded public trust in governance and reduced compliance.
- Operational bottlenecks made it difficult to address chronic arrears and maintain predictable cash flows.
Solution
- Developed a fully digitised property tax system with automated assessments and transparent workflows.
- Simplified approvals to three levels and consolidated billing into a single annual cycle.
- Introduced a multi-channel payment ecosystem including UPI, BBPS, WhatsApp Pay, and QR-based instant payments.
- Implemented GIS-based Japti targeting and predictive analytics for enforcement and recovery.
- Launched structured awareness campaigns and recognition programs like “Zero Defaulter Society” and “Best Tax Inspector” awards.
Outcomes
- Streamlined workflows reduced service delivery time and documentation, offering 24/7 citizen convenience.
- Automated assessments eliminated manual errors and disputes, improving transparency and governance efficiency.
- Revenue collection reached ₹534 crore by Q2 FY 2025–26, nearly half the annual target of ₹1200 crore.
- Increased public compliance through outreach campaigns across social media, buses, hoardings, and local jingles.
- Enhanced staff accountability and motivation through structured targets, recognition, and real-time dashboards.
