Tax Waiver in Kolkata by WLCI

Want a tax-waiver in Kolkata? 

Paint your house White and Blue!

The Kolkata mayor Sovan Chatterjee said on Tuesday - "We have decided that those who paint their residential houses in blue and white after informing the KMC will be given a tax waiver for that year".

Chatterjee said the scheme was prepared to provide an incentive to owners as many houses in the city were in a dilapidated state without any touch of paint for long years. The waiver would, however, not be available to commercial buildings, offices and flat owners.

He said it was an attempt to beautify the city and hoped lot of people will respond "positively".
