We pay tax for garbage collection and are we supposed to pay 160rs every month to garbage collectors separately? Our area consists or 600-650 houses and the garbage collectors earn around 1 lakh ruppes per month . And upon that they demand extra money for festivals , Are we supposed to pay them ?
Dear @Sushma1
Your municipal taxes typically cover garbage collection, and you’re not obligated to pay ₹160 monthly or festival tips unless officially mandated. If sanitation workers are demanding regular or extra payments informally, report the issue to your local municipal corporation or lodge a grievance via the Swachhata App or helpline. Attach details like area, frequency, and demands made. Authorities must ensure accountability and transparency in public services.
Please share the name of the municipal corporation or your location for further help.
If still need help, reply to us.
