GHMC Circles for Bridging Zones and Local Wards

Each zone is subdivided into circles to manage localized administration. The circles are headed by Deputy Commissioners who oversee municipal services such as sanitation, road maintenance, water supply management, and community welfare programs.

Role of GHMC Circles

  • Act as intermediaries between zones and wards.
  • Facilitate smooth coordination for urban planning projects.
  • Enable efficient resource allocation for public services in GHMC zones.

For example:

  • The East Zone’s Kapra Circle focuses on residential infrastructure development.
  • The West Zone’s Gachibowli Circle handles IT corridor maintenance and urban growth management.

Property Tax Management in GHMC

Efficient governance extends to property tax collection in GHMC zones and circles and Property tax is a critical revenue source for urban development projects in Hyderabad.

Residents can pay their property tax conveniently through the GHMC property tax online payment portal or with mobile app or with any other third party channel through the process involved with PTIN (Property Tax Identification Number) an unique identifier which simplifies GHMC property identification within specific circles and wards.

Timely payment helps avoid penalties and ensures seamless funding for public services in GHMC circles and wards.

This system ensures transparency and accuracy in property tax collection across all administrative divisions of GHMC.
