Thane civic body pilots Blockchain tech in property tax

Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has completed an interesting pilot where it tested delivery of property tax assessment reports using Blockchain technology.

This will help track late payments, dispute resolution, monitor collection targets, identifying non-delivery of bills, and facilitate inter-department coordination.

“This technology intervention will go a long way toward thwarting fake documents,” Sameer Unhale, Chief Executive Officer of Thane Smartcity and Additional Municipal Commissioner of TMC, said.

VeriDoc Global India, a Hyderabad based start-up, provided the Blockchain platform for implementing the pilot.
