Madurai Corporation Launches Weekend Tax Collection Initiative
In a significant move to enhance public convenience, the Madurai Corporation has announced that its tax collection centers will operate on extended hours during weekends throughout the month of March. Specifically, these centers will be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on both Saturdays and Sundays, providing ample opportunity for residents to settle their financial obligations to the civic body.
Comprehensive Drive for Tax and Non-Tax Collections
The corporation is currently conducting daily drives across all 100 wards of the city to collect various dues. This initiative targets a wide range of taxes and charges for the fiscal year 2025-2026, including:
- Property tax
- Drinking water charges
- Underground sewage maintenance charges
- Professional tax
In addition to these tax items, the drive also covers non-tax dues such as shop rents, ensuring a holistic approach to revenue collection. The corporation has emphasized the importance of this effort in maintaining civic services and infrastructure.
Urgent Appeal to the Public
The Madurai Corporation has issued a formal request to the public, urging them to take full advantage of this extended weekend service. Citizens are encouraged to promptly pay all pending tax and non-tax dues without any arrears. This proactive measure aims to streamline the collection process and reduce the backlog of unpaid amounts, thereby supporting the corporation's financial health and operational efficiency.
By offering weekend hours, the corporation seeks to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals and families, making it easier for them to fulfill their civic responsibilities. This initiative reflects a commitment to public service and administrative responsiveness in Madurai.
