MCD has received an enormous response to its online tax payment scheme. Encouraged by the same, the authority is pondering over to make it mandatory from June 1.

The shift will enable the MCD to extend the benefits of online payment scheme to the rural areas as well as the Capital, says MCD Collector, AK Ambasht.

There are several advantages of making online payments. Apart from cutting on the messy legwork, it is also a faster medium which helps both the payee and the authority to maintain work efficiently.  For that reason, the authority is contemplating making it compulsory.

The MCD is also drawing plans to come up with separate places in each zone where a multitude of computers can be set for public convenience.

Also, online filing of taxes is easier and offers a user friendly approach. Indeed, the payees have also liked the scheme, which is clearly evident by the kind of response received to the scheme.

The scheme will bring great solace for the Capital’s working population, who hardly find any time other than Sundays to take up such chores. Time saving is one of the reasons attributing to popularity of the scheme.

Those who don’t have access to computers can make their payments through cybercafés which are available everywhere. The persons who are not computer literate can visit any cyber café and take help from computer professional to get the work done, says Ambasht when asked the significance of the scheme for the residents who cannot use computer to file their taxes.
