Water is becoming precious in Indore. Now the city is rewarding people who save it. The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has a new plan. Under Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav, the IMC will cut property tax by up to 10%. This rebate goes to owners who install a rainwater harvesting system. The system must also work properly.
What the Rebate Covers
Property owners and builders can claim up to 10% off their tax bill. But there is a catch. First, an IMC officer must certify the system. The officer checks that it is installed correctly. The officer also checks that it works. So this rebate is not just for installing a system. It is for a system that actually functions.
What You Need to Get Certified
To claim the rebate, owners and builders must submit proof. First, they need geotagged photos of the installed system. Second, they need a schematic diagram. This diagram shows how the system is laid out.
The IMC will also run regular inspections. Officers check every part of the system. This includes the rooftop collection area and the downpipes. It also includes the control valve, the flush pipe, the filter units, and the storage tank. If any part is missing or broken, the system will not pass certification.
Why Indore Is Pushing This Now
Indore already requires rainwater harvesting for large homes. This rule covers all residential buildings of 1,500 square feet or more, new and old. The new tax rebate builds on this rule. It turns a compliance requirement into a real financial reward. This is part of a bigger push for water conservation. The IMC also ranks wards on their water conservation efforts.
