Ludhiana municipality to launch SMS services for tax bills
The Ludhiana Municipal Corporation has gone hi-tech with SMS services. The citizens can now get notifications about water, sewerage bills and house tax on their cell phones.
The authority would send texts to the registered cellphone numbers of its consumers informing them of the due dates and even receipts. The civic body is preparing an on line database for the purpose and a feasibility test had been done. The tendering process is underway for the plan.
The Ludhiana municipal officials say that 90% of the bills often get delayed due to lack of a communication channel and they are hopeful that bills would be paid more regularly once the SMS service is in place.
