Mumbai civic bodies are finding tech-savvy ways to enhance the way they function. The recent innovation has made the process to renew and obtain licences for pet dogs online and the application process will go online soon.
This move has been made by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Having failed in a similar plan to make the licencing process for pet dogs online, back in 2010, the BMC officials have been repeatedly receiving complaints about the process being cumbersome, because of which many residents have avoided getting a license.
Under Section 191 (A) of the BMC Act, it is mandatory for owners of pet dogs to obtain a licence. A licence is given to only dogs who are vaccinated. It is also a great measure to check for Rabies.
At the time of applying for the licence, the BMC charges Rs. 100 per year of the dog’s age. The charge for renewal of the license is ₹100 every year and in addition, the owner also has to pay a one-time fee of ₹150 for the licence book.
