In a significant financial achievement, Mumbai's civic administration has for the first time collected INR 269 crore in property tax from businesses operating within slum areas. This groundbreaking collection, stemming from the current fiscal year, marks a notable success in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) efforts to tap into previously unassessed revenue streams.

The initiative targets commercial establishments located within informal settlements across Mumbai, many of which had historically operated outside the formal property tax framework. This pioneering move by the BMC aims to bring these properties into the tax net, ensuring a more equitable contribution to civic revenue.
The civic body has identified a considerable number of such commercial properties across the sprawling metropolis. This focused effort to assess and collect taxes from these businesses is part of a larger strategy to enhance the BMC's financial resources and formalize economic activities in all parts of the city. The success in this segment suggests a new avenue for urban revenue generation in Mumbai.
