Indore uses music and street campaigns to promote December tax rebates
The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has launched an unusual campaign to spread the word about tax rebates. Ahead of the National Lok Adalat on December 13, officials are using music, food, and street visits to encourage residents to clear their overdue payments. The scheme offers up to a 100 percent waiver on surcharges for property and water taxes.
IMC Assistant Revenue Officer Anil Nikam led the initiative, which took a lively approach to public outreach. A vehicle carrying details about the tax concessions and the Lok Adalat date drove through local areas, accompanied by dhol players to grab attention. The rhythmic beats and announcements aimed to ensure the message reached as many people as possible.
The campaign combines traditional outreach with festive elements to maximise participation. Residents and traders now have until December 13 to pay their outstanding property and water taxes without extra charges. The IMC hopes this push will help clear long-standing dues while easing the financial burden on taxpayers.
