Tax for non-existent facilities in Patna to be revised by PMC
Without any basic facilities, Patna citizens are paying property tax to the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC). Issues like unsafe water, live in unhygienic condition and also delaying the new garbage collection agency’s functioning are still on the list for PMC to solve.
The PMC standing committee decided to double the holding tax which includes 2.5% property tax, 2% water tax, 2% sanitation tax, 2.25% health tax and 1.25% education tax whereas they admitted that there are no hospitals or schools under its jurisdiction.
The PMC commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pal stated that PMC has imposed holding tax only to residential complexes but many residential complexes are being used for commercial purposes and thus the PMC is losing a huge amount of money on this count every year.
