Mysuru: Ever since Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) presented its annual budget for 2020-21 online due to lockdown, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is also making similar preparations to present its budget for this fiscal via online.
Sources in the civic body told TOI that the authorities are planning to present the budget online and decided to seek approval from corporators after holding a video conference.
MCC will be the second urban local body in the country to present its budget online after BBMP, said sources.
Sources said that an informal budget advisory committee meeting comprising former mayors, key city corporation members, all standing committee chairmen, chairpersons, including mayor, deputy mayor, MCC commissioner and other key officials was held at MCC office on Tuesday. The meeting discussed the issue of presenting the budget online on the lines of BBMP, mayor Tasneem told TOI.
Meanwhile, chairperson of MCCs taxation, finance and appeals standing committee and ward number 45 corporator Nirmala, who will present the budget outlay, told TOI that the MCC had presented a total budget outlay of Rs 781.25 crore in the last fiscal year. This year, the budget outlay will also be the same with little changes.
Apart from expecting funds from state finance commission, Chief Minister’s Nagarottan Scheme, other state and central government funds, MCC is also expecting revenue from its various sources like property tax, from water and underground drainage maintenance taxes, from building license fee, road cutting charges, underground space rent, betterment taxes, water connection fee, UGD fee trade license fee, rent from commercial buildings owned by MCC and other sources.
“The upcoming budget will focus on health and safety of all residents in the wake of Covid 19. MCC has planned to set aside some funds to fight coronavirus,” said Nirmala.
