The Gujarat State Urban Development Agency (GSUDA) will engage an external firm to audit its recent property tax survey, aiming to verify data accuracy and improve revenue collection.
Gujarat's State Urban Development Agency announced that it will appoint a third‑party firm to audit the property tax survey conducted earlier this year. The move comes as the agency seeks to validate the survey's data, address discrepancies, and ensure that property owners are taxed correctly.
Officials said the audit will focus on verifying land‑record entries, cross‑checking ownership details, and assessing the methodology used during the survey. The selected agency will submit a detailed report with recommendations for corrective actions, if any.
The audit is expected to bolster confidence among taxpayers and help the state improve its municipal revenue base. GSUDA has not disclosed the name of the auditing firm or the timeline for completion, but it indicated that findings will be made public once the review is finalized.
Stakeholders, including local municipal bodies and property owners, have welcomed the initiative, viewing it as a step toward greater transparency in urban fiscal management.
