AHMEDABAD: The standing committee of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on Thursday announced an extension in the deadline for the advance rebate scheme for property tax payments to July 15.
As part of the scheme, people who pay their property taxes by July 15, can claim a 10% rebate.
The standing committee also announced rent waivers for food van owners who operate from Happy Street in Law Garden area of the city.
This will come as a big relief to many vendors who have lost out on a lot of business due to the lockdown last year and other curbs imposed to restrict the spread of Covid-19.
Meanwhile, the committee also approved the project to construct storm water drainage pipes at Vastral with a budget of Rs 19 crore.
That apart, Rs 1.53 crore was allocated for upgrading the pumping station at Shahwadi.
