Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City Corporation will soon introduce a software that will allow people to apply for birth and death certificates, according to its commissioner Akshy Sridhar.
Speaking during an interaction organised by the Dakshina Kannada district working journalists’ association here on Thursday, he said that their aim is to provide easy access to city corporation services for the public.
“We have already begun a paperless office initiative by introducing online facilities for applications for trade licences, building licences, water supply bill payments and property tax payments. The MCC is in the process of developing software for various spot fines. Meanwhile, the existing water billing software for online payment will be revised to make it more user-friendly. Software to collect rent from various buildings of the city corporation through the internet is in the final stage of its development,” he said.
He said that every department in the MCC office has become paperless. “We have already made provisions for people to track the status of some of the files related to their applications. Soon, people will be able to track the status of all applications online. The MCC has already teamed up with the postal department to deliver birth and death certificates. In the next phase, we are planning to introduce an online application system for the public to submit applications for birth and death certificates,” the commissioner said.
All technical errors in the online trade licence and property tax payment system have been rectified. The process of issuing TDR (transferable development rights) to property owners who have surrendered their land for road widening has been streamlined. This will enable property owners to get TDR without hassles. The MCC also has taken initiatives to expedite the process of e-khata distribution, he added.
