‘If they misspend money…’: Bengaluru fumes as garbage tax lands today with zero clean-up trust

From April 1, Bengaluri property owners will see a new line added to their taxes. Garbage user fee intended to clear the city. But in a city where civil promises often blow faster than organic waste, residents are skeptical.

One professional attracted the mood online. “I am willing to pay the garbage tax, but I expect a pure Bengalura.

It’s a drastic message. And someone who responds to India’s technological capital where citizens feel that they pay more without results.

The new waste management fee was approved by the Government of Karnatakia and enters into force on April 1.

Officials say that the fee will support their door garbage collection and garbage collection services. However, the roll is already heated to be a custard and poorly planned. BSWML estimate payment per year can cause 600 Rs Rs Crore, possibly even higher income.

The payment will be provided in the property tax and is charged based on the built area using six slabs.

• Properties up to 600 square meters. Rs 10 / month
• Properties over 4,000 square meters. Rs 400 / month

This step can significantly increase the taxes of the property on the board.

For washing waste generators such as large housing complexes and offices. The government has allowed BSWML to charge 12 rubles for non-cried waste. The additional value may affect the operational budgets for housing societies and commercial subdivisions.

Meanwhile, existing solid waste management (SWM) Cess remains unchanged. Before the moment goes to clean public spaces, the new user fee is designed to connect the services level gaps, although citizens are unsure.

Critics claim that the lack of accountability makes the new system difficult to trust. As Bengaluru’s residents are closed for higher bills, their demand is clear. Show us out of the results, not more receipts.
