Tax payment, building map approval through online: Online service mandatory from January 1
Mangaluru: Property tax, procurement of Khata (revenue document) can be managed online from January 1, 2018; as the civic services of urban local bodies will be made available online.

As per this, the service will be made available at Mangaluru City Corporation, Ullal Municipal Council, Mulki, Moodbidri Municipality, Bantwal Town Municipality, Belthangady, Sullia Town Panchayat next year. Along with this, the building license and layout approval system software has already been developed in all the local bodies of the state through the Karnataka Municipal Data Society. The government has already permitted for the customization at necessary places if required. During the 2018-19 state budget, it was announced that in order to facilitate the provision of civic services to the public, the automated online software would be developed and its use would be made mandatory.
Departments planning to dig roads for the installation of cables, pipes and OFC’s must apply online to take the permission from MCC. The specified amount must be paid. There is a rule that roads must be repaired after completion of the work. But, none of these are being practiced properly. Who is digging the road? What for they are digging? Who will repair them? There is no such information. But, after the online system is implemented, this culture is likely to come to an end.
