Gwalior Municipal Corporation Reshuffles Property Tax Duties, Gives Rao Citywide Charge

Gwalior Municipal Corporation has reshuffled the responsibilities of officers in its property tax department. Municipal Commissioner Abhishek Chaudhary has issued a new order to reorganise the work related to property tax collection, monitoring and other connected responsibilities.

Under the new arrangement, T. Prateek Rao has been given responsibility for property tax across the entire municipal area. Along with this, officers have also been assigned responsibility for property tax-related work on an assembly constituency-wise basis.

The changes have been made to streamline the functioning of the property tax department and to establish clearer responsibility for the work being carried out in different parts of the city. The new order covers the supervision of property tax collection as well as other work connected with the department.

Responsibility for property tax across the city has now been placed with T. Prateek Rao. According to the order issued by the Municipal Commissioner, Rao will handle the work related to property tax throughout the entire urban area under Gwalior Municipal Corporation.

The order also provides for responsibility to be fixed according to assembly constituencies. Officers will look after property tax-related work in their assigned areas. The arrangement is intended to help monitor work in the respective areas and determine accountability for pending and ongoing property tax-related matters.

The system related to the transfer of property ownership, or namantaran, has also been changed. Following Commissioner Abhishek Chaudhary’s order, responsibilities connected with property tax and namantaran will be determined afresh within the municipal corporation.

The administrative reshuffle will now be followed by the implementation of the order. Attention will remain on how quickly the department’s work progresses after the changes. It will also be seen whether there is an improvement in the disposal of matters related to property tax collection and namantaran.

The names of the officers assigned responsibility for work in each assembly constituency have not been provided in the available information. Details of the new responsibilities for namantaran and the effective date of the order have also not been provided. These details can be clearly mentioned in the report when the information becomes available.
