SDMC panel proposes tax exemption for Delhi police, sportsmen

The standing committee of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation today proposed to give property tax exemption to the families of Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel martyred or injured in the line of duty.
Olympian sportsmen and medal winners in Commonwealth and Asian Games will also come under the ambit of the exemption, the SDMC said in a statement.
The exemption will also apply to municipal employees who sustained injuries while at work and to families of those who have died.
The committee also passed a proposal to formulate a scheme for "self-regularisation of unauthorised constructions". Through this scheme, property owners can regularise their properties as per rules and regulations.

Another proposal was to provide Saral Unicode Software of Hindi to every councillor, the civic body said.
"A proper training will be given to councillors to learn this software and through this software they can work in Hindi easily," it said.
