ULB staff to verify PTIN records, trade licences in Telangana

Staff of municipalities and municipal corporations across Telangana have begun field inspections using Property Tax Identification Number (PTIN) data to verify assessed, unassessed and underassessed properties.

Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are also checking trade licences of commercial establishments during the inspections. Senior officials in the ULBs said the exercise was routine. 

However, the intensified verification has raised concerns among residents about a



possible increase in property tax.

At a recent meeting of the Madiga Employees Coordination Committee, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the State government was facing financial constraints. He also asked government employees to focus on improving tax collection. 

Following these instructions, ULB staff have stepped up checks of PTIN records and trade licence details. The exercise has triggered concerns among residents that the government may consider revising property tax.
