Mayor relaxes norms on trade licence

Chairing his final Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) council meeting as Mayor, Divakar on Wednesday relaxed the norms for renewal of trade licence of applicants operating from rented premises and allowed them to produce only the copy of trade licence granted earlier year along with last year’s tax paid receipt. Anybody having problem in producing the tax receipt can submit the application along with an undertaking stating the reason for not submitting it. Mr. Divakar passed this direction following councillors pointing out at problems faced by traders in getting their licenses renewed.
