RANCHI: Now, a person having property in Ranchi can pay all the concerned taxes to Ranchi Municipal Corporation from anywhere across the county.

Mayor Asha Lakra inaugurated the system of tax payment through ICICI bank at the Lalpur branch of bank on Monday.
Explaining the new payment gateway, municipal commissioner Prashant Kumar said, “Now all a person has to do is approach their nearest ICICI bank branch and give their holding number or water connection number and they would be informed about their due taxes. The person can make on spot payment and get the receipt from the bank.”

At present, three major taxes are collected by RMC including holding tax, water tax and waste management tax. Till date there were three ways to make payments for these taxes including online payment, payment at the three Jan Suvidha Kendra of RMC and by the mode of door to door collection done by Sparrow Softech, the company which has been outsourced the work of holding tax collection by RMC.
However, none of the three systems were suitable for all the people. “Many people did not have access to online payment mode. Also there are only three jan suvidha kendras and they are not easily reachable for citizens from across the city. As far as door to door collection is involved people have to rely on the tax collectors to make the payment,” said Municipal Commissioner.

He added, “However, there are 12 branches of ICICI bank in the city and people can approach any of them to pay their taxes, whenever it is convenient for them. Also, those living in other cities can also make payment through the ICICI brank in that city without any hassle.”
