No More Long Queues at MeeSeva Centres
With these services available online, citizens no longer need to visit MeeSeva centres for basic corrections or assessments. According to Telangana Today, the GHMC has launched this feature to reduce delays, increase transparency, and empower property owners to manage their records efficiently.

One of the most significant additions is the Self-Assessment of Property Tax option. This feature allows property owners to calculate and pay taxes based on built-up area and location directly through the GHMC portal. This is especially helpful for new property registrations or recent constructions.
Encouraging Digital Governance
Officials from GHMC stated that the new services are part of a larger effort to promote digital governance, improve citizen experience, and ensure accountability in municipal operations. The move is expected to significantly cut down administrative delays and physical footfall at civic offices.
How to Access the Services
Citizens can access these services by visiting the official GHMC website and navigating to the Property Tax Online Services section. The interface is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, even for first-time users.
With this digital push, GHMC is making strides in building a more responsive and tech-driven municipal ecosystem for Hyderabad’s growing urban population.
