Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, known as Silicon City and Garden City, is going to be expensive from 1 April. From today, the residents of Bengaluru will have to give user fee i.e. garbage. Now domestic waste collection and disposal charge will also be levied on the already charged property tax bill from April 1. Users fees have been approved by the Government of Karnataka for disposal of waste. The fee was proposed by the Bengaluru Solid West Management Limited (BSWML) in November last year, which has been approved by the Urban Development Department headed by Deputy CM DK Shivkumar.
Earn up to Rs 600 crore annually
Depending on the size of the property, the waste management cost will have to be paid to the BBMP from Rs 10 to Rs 400. This will apply to every house, shop and office in Bengaluru. According to the estimate of BSWML, this user fee will earn up to Rs 600 crore annually.
