Bill Genie is an automated bill generation system developed on the DIGIT platform for enabling simple, smooth and transparent Property Tax payment process for the citizens. The application generates the bill of property tax payable based on calendar triggers through a batch process and shares the same with the citizens in advance. The citizens can review the bill and once satisfied can do the payment of the property tax using the payment link shared along with the bill.
For propA ‘Self-assessment’ system based on ‘trust and verify’ principle was introduced in 157 ULBs. In this system, citizens shared the details of their property, and the tax calculation was done using the ARV methodology for the tax collection period. A Bill was generated for the Property tax payable and the citizen made the payment to the ULB. This payment created a Property tax record in the system and a unique Property Tax ID is assigned to the property. This ‘Self-assessment’ system has helped to bring 4,43,700 into the property tax record system in DIGIT in a span of 10 months. Additionally ~3,00,000 have been migrated from other IT systems to DIGIT.
