GHMC awareness videos strike chord, encourage citizens to clear property tax arrears

Pay Hyderabad property tax arrears by March 31 for a 90% interest waiver. GHMC's viral cricket-themed video & online payment options explained.

"Why delay? Pay your property tax dues today. Do not miss this opportunity. - R.V. Karnan"

Hyderabad, March 10

The promotional videos and audio messages produced by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to create awareness about the One Time Settlement Scheme for property tax arrears are receiving an encouraging response from citizens across the city.

Designed to clearly explain the benefits of the scheme, the campaign content is being widely circulated through social media and digital platforms, helping the message reach a large number of residents in an engaging manner.

A specially produced cricket-themed video has particularly captured public attention, creatively conveying the importance of clearing property tax dues under the OTS scheme. Through these videos and audio messages, GHMC is also highlighting that property tax payments are accepted entirely through transparent online systems.

Citizens can conveniently pay their property tax through the GHMC official portal (ghmc.gov.in), the MyGHMC/MyCURE mobile application, MeeSeva centres, or at GHMC Citizen Service Centres, officials said.

Property owners with pending dues can avail themselves of a 90% waiver on interest if the arrears are cleared on or before March 31. Officials urged residents to take advantage of the State government's OTS scheme and settle their dues with ease.

GHMC has already intensified its awareness drive across the city through FM radio broadcasts, bus shelter advertisements, and other publicity platforms to inform citizens about the OTS scheme and encourage timely payment of property tax dues.

"Why delay? Pay your property tax dues today. Do not miss this opportunity. Your contribution will support the development of our city," appealed GHMC Commissioner R.V. Karnan, urging citizens to make use of the scheme.

The 90% interest waiver is a huge relief. My father had some old pending dues from a commercial property. We cleared it all online yesterday. More such citizen-friendly schemes are needed. Transparency in online payment is a big plus.

Awareness is good, but execution is key. Last time I tried the MyGHMC app, it kept crashing. Hope they have fixed the technical glitches. The scheme itself is beneficial, no doubt. Will try again to pay.

Heard the audio message on the radio while driving. Short and clear. It's important we pay our taxes. Our city's development depends on it. Let's all be responsible citizens and clear our dues before March 31st.

As a long-term resident in Hyderabad, I appreciate this proactive approach. Using multiple platforms - social media, radio, apps - ensures the message reaches everyone, from youth to elders. The OTS scheme is a win-win for the corporation and citizens.

Hope the tax collected is used properly for roads and drainage. We pay every year but see slow progress in some areas. That said, the 90% waiver is too good to ignore. Will pay up and hope for better civic amenities in return.
