GHMC updates portal to seek phone number of assessees, OTP to show the amount
Online payments of property tax have dropped drastically for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) reportedly after a new feature has been introduced in the software to secure the authenticity. Payments using credit/debit cards and digital wallet platforms through online have come down after the portal was updated to seek phone number of the assessee, sources have informed. To know the amount of the bill, the property tax payer will have to enter his/her phone number, upon which he or she will get a one-time password (OTP) to the mobile number. The amount will be displayed only if the OTP is entered. However, there is no OTP for payment of the bill, though phone number and email are to be entered there too.More Related News
