In response to delays in property tax collections due to election duties, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has implemented a QR code payment system to facilitate faster transactions. The QR code is accessible on GCC's official website and social media platforms. City revenue officer K Magesh noted that the corporation has set an annual revenue target of ₹900 crore and has so far collected ₹511 crore through online payments. Physical collection efforts will resume only after the election results are announced. GCC has more than 14 lakh property tax assessees and aims to collect the remaining dues of ₹400 crore efficiently using the QR code system. Last year, the corporation collected approximately ₹506 crore during the same period. Additionally, GCC has an overall annual tax demand of ₹1,800 crore and is working to recover dues of about ₹120 crore from long-term defaulters. The introduction of QR codes is expected to expedite collections, especially as taxpayers have previously benefited from a 5% incentive for early payments made before April 30.
