Jaipur Civic Body Seizes Properties for Unpaid UD Tax

27 Feb 2024 CW Team

In a stringent measure against tax defaulters, the Jaipur Municipal Corporation has seized five properties in the city over non-payment of Urban Development (UD) tax. The civic body, taking a stern stance on tax compliance, attached the properties as part of its drive to ensure timely revenue collection for urban development initiatives.

The move comes as a part of the municipality's efforts to enforce financial discipline and prompt tax payments from property owners. The properties were attached following repeated reminders and notices to the owners regarding the outstanding UD tax. By taking this step, the Jaipur civic body aims to send a clear message about the consequences of non-compliance with local tax regulations.

Jaipur residents and property owners are urged to settle their dues promptly to avoid similar actions against their properties. The civic authorities emphasise the significance of UD tax contributions in supporting crucial urban development projects and services. The enforcement action reflects the civic body's commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline and ensuring that property owners fulfil their tax obligations for the overall benefit of the city's development.
