The Municipal Corporation will not charge two months rent from tenants whose monthly rent is 10 thousand rupees or less.

The Municipal Corporation will not charge two months rent from tenants whose monthly rent is 10 thousand rupees or less. However, for this, the tenants will have to deposit the remaining rent soon. The corporation has around 700 shops in the city, out of which 138 are in Palika Bazar. Apart from this, the corporation also has properties on Subhash Road, Civil Road, Indira Market, Purani Sabzi Mandi, Kacha Berry Road, Gandhi Camp, Shivaji Colony, and Hisar Road. 60 percent of these tenants pay rent of 10 thousand or less every month. Commissioner Pradeep Godara told me that the government letter has arrived. Two months' rent will not be charged. Traders should get their outstanding rent deposited in the Municipal Corporation at the earliest.

The markets were closed in April and May due to Corona infection in the city. The traders had demanded from the state government that the rent of the tenants be waived. After this, the government sent a letter in April that the tenants of the Urban Bodies Department whose record is correct. Any kind of dispute is not a dispute with the corporation. Their two-month rent can be waived. However, the monthly rent should be 10 thousand or less. Since then, the corporation administration was waiting for the letter to be officially received from the headquarters. Only then two months' rent should be waived. On the other hand, the government has sent a letter to the corporation administration asking how many tenants in the corporation area whose monthly rent is 10 thousand or less. The details of the corporation have been sent to the headquarters.

On behalf of the government, the monthly rent of 10 thousand or fewer merchants has been waived in April and May. Talking to the corporation commissioner, he himself came on Monday paying five months rent, while his 7 months rent was outstanding. By writing a letter to the CM, he will also waive the rent of those merchants whose rent is above 10 thousand.
