By Our Staff Correspondent

MYSORE, MARCH 31. The last date for payment of property tax without penal fee has been extended to April 3 by the Mysore City Corporation in the wake of the demand for it.

The deadline for the payment of tax ended on Thursday.

The Mayor, Dakshinamurthy, said property owners are coming forward to pay property tax and could pay it till April 3. The decision to extend the deadline was taken at a meeting of the corporation council today after members of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal (Secular) demanded that the deadline be extended till April 10.

He said the zonal centres will be open on Sunday to collect property tax and cheques issued on Thursday could be deposited till April 3.

The Leader of the Opposition in the corporation council, Shivakumar, said the deadline should be extended as the zonal centres face a shortage of staff.

Mr. Dakshinamurthy announced that Rs. 18 crores has been collected as property tax so far.

Regarding the collection of trade licence fee, he said it touched Rs. 1.02 crores during 2004-05 against Rs. 44.80 lakhs collected during 2001-02.

The number of trade licences issued during the period rose to 11,992 from 3,967.
