The then Municipal Commissioner Ashwin Mudgal had presented proposed budget of Rs 2,048.53 crore for 2018-19 to Standing Committee. He had suggested to keep expenditure of civic body within limits and in proportion to its revenue. Currently, the civic body is facing severe financial problem due to poor recovery of property tax and other taxes. NMC is totally dependent on funding by State Government. The Standing Committee will seek special assistance of Rs 325 crore every year from the government for completing ongoing development works.
