Project overview

Modernizing municipal tax billing through computerized printing for DSCC

Crystal Technology was contracted by Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) to undertake the computerized printing of holding tax bill books for the fiscal year 2014-15. Holding tax is a primary revenue source for city corporations in Bangladesh, levied on property owners across all municipal zones, and accurate bill generation is essential for effective revenue collection.

The project involved processing large volumes of property holding data from DSCC's database, generating accurate tax assessments based on the prevailing rate schedules, and producing professionally printed bill books for distribution across all five zones. Each bill book contained individualized tax demands for property owners, complete with holding numbers, assessment details, payment schedules, and collection point information.

Crystal Technology managed the entire workflow from data extraction and validation through bill computation, formatting, quality assurance, and high-volume printing. The computerized approach replaced manual bill preparation methods, significantly reducing errors, improving billing accuracy, and accelerating the distribution timeline to support DSCC's revenue collection cycle.
