Property Tax is the principal source of revenue
in urban local bodies in virtually every part
of the world. In most cities in India the property
tax base has been considerably eroded by administrative
and procedural inadequacies. A significant number
of properties are not included in the tax base;
those that are included are inaccurately assessed
and collection is inefficient.

tracking and control for a government body’s
asset base. E-Governance Assets allows the government
to manage its entire asset base in a single system

the asset lifecycle. This can reduce the costs
while improving the accuracy of the fixed-asset
transactions, ultimately leading to a more accurate
representation of the government’s assets.

E-Governance
Birth/Death
The registration and certification of Births and
Deaths constitutes an important function of the
city corporation, as well as the country at large.
Our current registration systems leave much to
be desired in the quality of data collected and
the coverage obtained. India, in general, collects
very poor data on the Cause of Death, which could
be vitally important in medical research and other
health and socio-economic studies. Although the
Birth and Death Registration Act 1969 states that
a first copy of the Birth Certificate is to be
issued free of cost it is rarely implemented.
The process of Birth/Death registration is still
cumbersome and can be streamlined with use of
IT technologies.

Governance GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
GIS Geographic Information Systems are computer
systems used for capturing, storing and analyzing
Geographic data. Since a citys administration
and planning are closely tied to its geography,
GIS systems are a great tool for efficiently governing
a city. As such, the eGovernments Foundation works
to integrate all its application modules (such
as the eGov Property and eGov Works) with a GIS
system. eGov GIS is a GIS product that compliments
the eGov applications on Property Tax and Ward
Works.
