The new handheld machines will enable citizens to pay various taxes, including property tax, water charges, and vacant land tax, using both cash and credit/debit cards. This initiative aims to simplify the tax payment process and provide multiple payment options to the public.

Deputy Commissioner K. Sivakumar was also present during the distribution of these devices. The introduction of these portable machines is expected to increase efficiency in tax collection and reduce waiting times for residents who wish to pay their dues to the corporation.
