In the era of smart technologies, it becomes evident that governments across the globe are working to provide more accurate and smart solutions for citizens. One of the crucial parts of government is to enable local bodies to function accurately, transparently and platforms to connect with citizens. GIS-based Property and tax management offer greater accountability and a multi-fold increase in revenue for local bodies. GIS-based systems enable Urban local bodies (ULBs) to have a record of properties accurately in line with the property tax jurisdictions of commercial, residential or industrial and provide a 360-degree view of taxable revenue stream.
