LUCKNOW: The procedure to pay house tax is set to get easier.
Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) will launch a UPI QR code payment system at its counters in collaboration with Paytm.
Two successful test transactions were conducted on Monday, demonstrating the potential of this new method.
The QR code facility leverages existing QR codes printed on house tax bills and requires residents to simply scan them using the Paytm app and enter their UPI credentials for quick and convenient payment.
LMC has already completed training for its staff on how to use the new system. Two bills were also successfully scanned and paid using the system on Monday.
The new system will be available at two counters in each zone of the LMC. It will also be available at various camps that the LMC will be organizing in the coming months.
“This new system will make it easier and more convenient for residents to pay their house tax,” said Pankaj Srivastava, additional municipal commissioner.
“It will also help to reduce the number of people waiting in line at our counters.”
In addition to the QR code-based system, the LMC is also working to connect with Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS). BBPS is a national payment system that allows residents to pay their bills online or through a mobile app.
“Once we are connected to BBPS, residents will be able to pay their house tax through a variety of channels, including their bank account, credit card, or debit card,” said Srivastava.
