MCD Bypoll Results 2025 Live: MCD approves reform to simplify business licensing process a day ahead of results
The MCD has approved a major reform aimed at making business processes easier. On Tuesday, the MCD decided to link the General Trade/Storage License (GTL) with the property tax system.
This new change, passed in the MCD House, is designed to make it simpler for traders to follow the rules and reduce the bureaucratic challenges that have traditionally come with getting a trade license.
Under the new system, business owners will no longer need to file a separate application or keep an individual trade license. Instead, the trade license will be automatically included on the annual property tax receipt. The property tax slip will act as the valid GTL, as long as the business follows pollution control, fire safety, and other legal requirements.
