Tax Collection Impact Expected After Raipur Municipal Corporation Employee Transfers

The Raipur Municipal Corporation has executed a significant reshuffle within its tax collection department, transferring 93 officers and employees. This action comes after an earlier transfer of 10 Assistant Revenue Officers. The corporation is now facing the challenge of potential disruption in tax collection, especially with the reassignment of personnel familiar with ward geographies. The corporation’s focus is on maximizing revenue from open plots. The recent transfers could impact the efficiency of tax collection efforts as the new staff members will require time to familiarize themselves with the ward jurisdictions. Furthermore, the corporation is targeting over 400 crores in revenue this year.
