STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Under section 109 ( 2 ) of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act , 1957 , the Corporation has to determine the rates of municipal taxes to be levied in the following year before the fifteenth day of Feb- ruary each year . The difficult ways and means position of the Cor- poration rendered it urgently necessary to confer on the Corpora- tion before that date powers to impose general tax at a higher rate while ensuring at the same time that the burden of the tax is dis- tributed on a graduated scale according to the principle of ability to pay . Accordingly an Ordinance was promulgated by the Presi- dent on the 3rd February , 1968 raising the maximum celling rate of general tax from 20 per cent to 30 per cent and enabling the Corporation to levy the tax on a graduated scale .
2. The Bill seeks to ment . place the Ordinance by an Act of Parlia-
