Chhattisgarh government has decided to give respite in the water tax to the commercial shops where water consumption has been very less.
The shops trading foodgrains, stationary and garment would be covered under the orbit of respite as the water utilization in such shops had been nominal. They traders were earlier paying water tax at par with the other establishment like hotels, restaurant, auto service centre, tea-coffee shops, milk parlour etc where water consumption was more. According to the tax structure under the civic body act in Chhattisgarh, the shops and business establishment were paying Rs 350 per month in the area coming under Municipal Corporation and Rs 300 in panchayat limits.
