Mumbai, India's richest municipality, wants to tax garbage to boost revenue
印度最富有的城市孟買想對垃圾徵稅，增加收入
Mumbai, India’s financial hub and the nation’s richest municipality, is exploring new ways to boost revenue as a slowing economy hurts earnings from real estate.
因為經濟放緩影響了房地產行業的收入，印度金融中心、全國最富裕的城市孟買正在探索增加收入的新途徑。
This includes tax on garbage collection and additional levies on services such as issuing birth certificates. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which covers half the area of the city of New York but houses 50% more people, sees revenue dropping 5% from its previous target to 238.5 billion rupees ($3.4 billion) in the year through March 31.
這些途徑包括垃圾回收稅，以及對簽發出生證明等服務的額外徵稅。大孟買市政公司的面積為紐約市的一半，但人口卻比紐約市多了50%以上。該公司預計，在截至3月31日的財年裡，其收入將較之前的目標下降5%，僅為2385億盧比(合34億美元)。
Deteriorating finances in Mumbai -- whose budget is bigger than several Indian states -- bodes ill for India’s economic revival because local expenditure has a bigger impact than that by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration. Every 1 rupee spent by states yields 1.07 rupees in extra output versus 0.4 for the federal go nment, according to a working paper published by the Reserve Bank of India.
孟買的財政狀況不斷惡化，這對印度經濟復甦來說是個壞兆頭，因為地方支出的影響比印度總理納倫德拉莫迪政府的影響更大。根據印度儲備銀行發佈的一份工作報告，邦政府每支出1盧比，就會產生1.07盧比的額外產出，而聯邦政府為0.4盧比。
For now, Mumbai plans to increase spending by almost 9% in the year starting April 1, including on better storm-water drains to prevent flooding during the city’s annual monsoon, and an ambitious and controversial coastal road that will hug the city’s shoreline from Marine Lines — called the Queen’s Necklace — in the south to the crowded northern suburbs.
目前，孟買計劃在4月1日開始的一年中增加近9%的開支，包括改善雨水排放以防止每年雨季期間的洪水，以及一條雄心勃勃且頗具爭議的沿海公路，這條公路將從南部的海岸線（被稱為女王項鍊）延伸至擁擠的海岸線北郊。
It’s unclear though how it will achieve that goal given tax collections on the sale of apartments and offices in India’s priciest property market missed the current-year’s target by 12%.
目前還不清楚孟買要如何實現這一目標，因為印度最昂貴的房地產市場上公寓和寫字樓的銷售稅收比今年的目標少了12%。
Faced with a fall in revenues from the major sources of income, “the corporation plans to adopt innovative measures for resource mobilization,” Care Ratings economists, including Madan Sabnavis, wrote in a report. These include “measures to recover outstanding dues of property tax and water tax by way of issuance of notices to defaulters, disconnection of water connections, attachments and auction of properties,” they wrote.
包括Madan Sabnavis在內的Care評級經濟學家在一份報告中寫道，對彌補來自主要收入來源的收入下降，“公司計劃採取創新措施來盤活資源”。他們寫道，這些措施包括“通過向欠稅者發出通知、切斷供水、扣押和拍賣房產等方式，追討欠繳的物業稅和水稅”。
Mumbai’s municipal body expects income on its 786.7 billion rupees of investments to drop 11% due to lower bank interest rates in the next financial year. It also doesn’t see any additional increase in compensation from the federal go nment. Until 2017, Mumbai earned a third of its income through octroi, or an entry levy, which was replaced with a nationwide goods and services tax after Modi promised to compensate for a portion of the reduction.
孟買市政機構預計，由於下一財年銀行利率下降，其7,867億盧比投資的收入將下降11%。聯邦政府的補償也沒有增加。直到2017年，孟買三分之一的收入都是通過貨物入市稅獲得的，在莫迪承諾補償部分減少的收入後，這項稅收被全國性的商品和服務稅取代。
India’s economic slowdown means the federal go nment hasn’t been able to transfer the funds beyond September. The remainder will be issued in two tranches, junior finance minister Anurag Thakur told parliament Feb. 3.
印度經濟放緩意味著，聯邦政府無法在9月份之後轉移資金。財政副部長塔庫爾於 2月3日對議會說，餘數部分將分兩批發放。

if the municipality start controlling the pilferage of resources , they can save a lot, in all they inflate the bills and swindle the money,we the public at the mercy, if any one question, immediately they are been targeted by other dept
如果市政當局開始控制資源的盜竊，他們可以省下很多錢，總之，他們虛增賬單和詐騙錢財，我們公眾無能為力，如果有人提出質疑，立即就會成為別人的目標。

Now morning garbage collectors will become slumdog millionair
現在早上收垃圾的人將成為《貧民窟的百萬富翁》。

A simple question...how much of bmc revenues go to salaries?
我有個一個簡單的問題…有多少收入用於工資?
BMKCT
Yes. BMC will colect a lot of taxes on garbage because THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF GARBAGE IN MUMBAI - LIVING AND NON LIVING THINGS. GO AND TAX THEM SO THEY GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM - GO BACK TO YOUR OWN KONTRI.
是的。布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司能徵收到很多垃圾稅，因為孟買有很多垃圾——有生命的，也有無生命的。去對他們徵稅吧，讓他們滾回他們來的地方——回到你自己的地方。

It is surprising that within a few months of the current go nment being sworn in, the cost of milk (basic necessity for a common man) has been hiked not once but twice. And no one has even opened spoken about it. This shows, no one pays for their own and that they are taken care of. Under such circumstances, taxing garbage comes as no surprise. Very soon, they will charge for breathing. Mumbai has reached its dead-end, in all respects.
令人驚訝的是，在現任政府宣誓就職的幾個月內，牛奶(一個普通人的基本必需品)的價格上漲了不止一次，而是兩次。可是居然沒有人公開談論這個問題。這表明，沒有人為自己買單，他們有人關照。在這種情況下，對垃圾徵稅就不足為奇了。很快，他們還將開徵呼吸稅。孟買在各個方面都已經走到山窮水盡的境地了。

BMC should clear and clean and keep free all footpaths in Mumbai to walk free. There are hindrances/ encroachments and blockages everywhere at Main road, streets and near every railway stations. These hawkers zones should be shifted at open spaces or at chowpatty area
布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司應該清理乾淨，讓孟買所有的人行道都暢通無阻。主幹道、街道和火車站附近到處都是障礙物。這些小販專區應移至空地或喬佩蒂區。

It's a pity. Soon we will be selling dead bodies also to survive in this country. Total mismanagement of finance.
真遺憾。很快，我們還得出售屍體，才能在這個國家生存下去。這絕對就是金融管理不善。

It is nothing but funding the luxurious living of our Corporators. They want a new air-conditioned car every year, and the official car is also used for personal use also, all expenses funded by tax payers.
這於事無補，只會給我們的市政官員提供奢侈生活所需的資金。他們每年都想要新的空調車，公務車也會被個人私用，所有的費用都由納稅人支付。

Wow !! Another tool devised to squeeze money from the helpless citizen.
哇！！這又是一個從無辜百姓身上榨取錢財的工具。

All because of the mismanagement of the previous BJP Government
這都是因為前印度人民黨政府的管理不善。

Mumbai is the world's largest polluter which throw 90% untreated sewage into sea,all money spent on treatment plant is eaten away by the corrupt municipality employees .
孟買是世界上最大的汙染者，它把90%未經處理的汙水排入大海，所有花在汙水處理廠的錢都被附敗的市政官員吃掉了。

First throw out 85% of corrupt municipal employees
首先要處理掉85%的附敗的市政僱員。

They are gangsters and they know how to get family richer and richer.there was only one but now even son and uncle joins in.
他們是黑幫，他們知道如何讓自己的小家庭越來越富有。原來只有一個人，現在連兒子和叔叔也加入了進來。

One of the most corrupt municipalities in the world. The problem is co ption, co ption and nothing else. Openly and accepted. This won't change anytime soon nor the fortunes of the city will.
世界上最附敗的城市之一。問題就在於附敗，附敗，沒有別的。這是百姓們都知道的事。這個情況無法很快改變，這座城市的命運也不會改變。

Taxing for garbage is good, even if city has surplus money. I have seen rich people too in Bangalore do not want to spend 50 Rs to dispose huge pile of thermocol or their old bed.
即使城市有錢，對垃圾徵稅也是好事。我也看到過班加羅爾的富人不想花費50盧比處理一大堆廢棄物或他們的舊床。
Sanjay Shembekar
With daily budget of nearly Rs. 100 crore, still short of money? its the purest form of co ption!!
每天的預算接近10億盧比，還會缺錢？除了百分百的附敗，還會是什麼!!

Instead of cutting back on their own expenses (cough bribez cough), they want to increase taxes on regular tax paying citizens to make sure that their revenue does not fall. Shabbas India, you never disappoint.
他們沒有削減自己的開支(咳嗽，賄賂，咳嗽)，反而希望對普通納稅人增收稅金，以確保他們的收入不會下降。印度，你永遠不會讓人失望。
Kamal Jain
This has to happen after GST ! GST has sucked budgetary revenue from states and municipal corporations !
這在商品服務稅實施後註定會發生！商品服務稅從邦政府和市政公司那裡吸走了預算收入!

High time to rename BMC to BCC ( biggest corrupt corporation )..They need to show accountability for the blood ( taxes ) they have oozed out from the citizens b4 thinking of any new taxes.
是時候把BMC布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司改名為BCC(最大的附敗公司)了。他們需要對他們考慮從公民身上徵收新稅、榨取血汗負責。
Karan Sood
worst and most corrupt municipal corporation in the whole world. eats up the money for no reason. and then troubles the citizens. the potholed roads filled with filthy slums are testimony to this. BMC takes lot of illegal money from slums and service contractors responsible for the potholed roads. Still they want to trouble and tax honest and poor citizens who work hard and honest.
世界上最糟糕和最附敗的市政公司。無緣無故地把錢都拜光了。然後就想給市民找麻煩。坑坑窪窪的道路和骯髒的貧民窟就是明證。布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司從貧民窟和對坑坑窪窪的道路負責的服務承包商那裡拿走了大量非法資金。依然想給誠實努力工作的窮人制造麻煩並徵稅。

No amount of money is sufficient in this country to manage things because of the greediness.
在這個國家，因為貪婪，再多的錢也不夠花。

people should encourage to reduce garbage...this is good from the point of this
應該鼓勵人們減少垃圾丟棄……從這點來看，是好事。

It is time that the people are taxed for services.
現在是時候對民眾提供的服務徵稅了。

Please edit the city name NewYork...it seems text are edited from some other source. Be original. Thanks

What an idiotic idea? People will start dumping garbage wherever they can instead of channelling thru to Municipal corporation. Then the BMC will have to firefight with infections and epidemics, provision more staff for cleaning the city. Penny wise, pound foolish.
這是多麼愚蠢的想法啊？人們會開始隨處傾倒垃圾，不再通過市政公司。然後布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司將不得不與傳染病和流行病作鬥爭，派出更多的工作人員來清潔城市。小事聰明，大事糊塗。
Joseph Anandaraj
Taxing citizens to BOOST TAX REVENUE is not the right policy in a Democratic Republic Independent country. Instead, re-assess the short falls and take corrective measures. Demand the GST share first, as Tax collected cannot be retained or allocated for any other purposes. Only after exhausting all available revenue sources tapped, taxing public can be considered. BOTTOM LESS BUCKET CANNOT HOLD WATER. JAI HIND.
在一個皿煮共和國獨立的國家，對公民徵稅以增加稅收不是正確的政策。相反，重新評估虧空，並採取糾正措施才是對的。首先要求商品服務稅的份額，因為所徵收的稅款不能保留或分配給任何其他目的。只有在所有可用的收入來源都試過後，才可以考慮對公眾徵稅。沒底的桶存不住水。印度必勝。

Are you aware the property tax in Mumbai is Rs 22000/- per year for a flat of small two bedroom unit.Property Tax for the same size of flat in Gurgaon is Rs 600/- per year. Still Gurgaon is clean and Mumbai is the worst. BMC is responsible as well as the corporators.
你知道孟買的房產稅是每年22000盧比嗎？古爾加翁相同面積公寓的房產稅每年才600盧比。而且古爾加翁很乾淨，孟買是最髒的。布巴內斯瓦爾市政公司和市政官員都有責任。

THIS YEARS BUDGET THEY HAVE ALMOST 20000 CRORES UNSPENT WHY THEY WANT TO COLLECT MORE FUNDS APPARENTLY TO SURREPTITIOUSLY FILL THEIR POCKETS BLOODY ROGUES CROOKS CHEATS OPPORTUNISTS.
他們今年的預算有近2萬盧比沒花完，為什麼還想要籌集更多的資金，顯然是為了偷偷地填滿自己的口袋，血腥的惡棍，騙子和機會主義者。
