The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has resolved that its vehicle tax payment system will be put online, and vehicle dealers will be responsible for payment.
AMC revenue committee chairman Jainik Vakil said the dealer will need to upload their invoice. If a discrepancy is found, action will be taken against the dealer, up to blocking their account.
Vakil said the AMC has now decided that the entire vehicle tax payment process will be online. From uploading the invoice to paying the tax to generating the vehicle tax receipt, everything will have to be done by the dealership.
The customer or dealer will not need to visit an AMC office or civic centre. He said that as soon as the dealer enters the invoice amount, the system will compute the tax payable. Payments will be accepted through netbanking, digital wallets or from cards.
Vakil said that as the RTO will get the vehicle tax receipt directly, this system will speed up the registration process.
