Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday launched an online tax portal through which consumers in village panchayats would be able to pay their house tax, water charges, professional tax and non-tax revenues, among others.
Consumers could use the portal at https://vptax.tnrd.tn.gov.in/ to pay their dues through online payment or through debit or credit cards or make UPI payment, an official release said. The portal is expected to benefit owners of properties that are in village panchayats but their owners living elsewhere. Earlier, they had to visit the offices in the respective village panchayats to make these payments, an official release said.
