In another update earlier this month, at a Kanpur Municipal Corporation council meeting, a total of 11 proposals were tabled, all of which were passed unanimously. Key among them was the approval of a 10 per cent rebate on current house tax payments for homeowners, valid until July 2025. The move aims to encourage timely payments and ease the financial burden on citizens.

To ensure better financial discipline and transparency, the council also decided that every development-related file will now carry budgetary and commitment seals. This system, previously discontinued, had led to cross-utilization of zonal budgets. The reinstated mechanism is expected to streamline fund allocation and prevent mismanagement.
