Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is considered as one among the top Municipal Corporations in India. It was established back in 1950, and since then AMC has been delivering excellent services to all its citizens. In order to meet the increasingly complex task of urban governance, the AMC has even set up a full fledged e-governance system. E-governance is nothing but delivery of government services, programs, and information through internet or other digital means. In fact, AMC is the first Municipal Corporation in India to cover the entire range of municipal services such as birth and death registration, city cleanliness, building plan, primary health and education, road, street-lights, sewage, water supply, parks, and garden through e-governance to about 55 lakh citizens of Ahmedabad city. Now, www.egovamc.com is the official website of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation where people can have 24-hour access to all of the AMC services from anywhere in India.
No doubt, the citizens of Ahmedabad have benefited significantly from this website. For instance, citizens are no longer required to visit the Municipal Office and waste several hours for paying any fees/taxes, instead they can make instant online payments through a credit card or an online banking account. Using this online payment service, citizens can pay their personal Property Tax as well as their Professional Tax (Business Enrolments only) in quite a few minutes. Thanks to the simple and user-friendly interface of the website, making a tax payment has never been easier.
To make a tax payment on egovamc.com, click the E-PAYMENT link under the SERVICES section. Now, enter your Tenament number and click on ‘Search’. By doing so, you will be provided with some information like name of the owner, occupier (if any), address, and the tax due amount. Now if the tax amount is due on the same page, you’ll find the ‘Pay’ button. Just click on this button to proceed with the payment. As soon as you press this button, you’ll be redirected to another page for the payment confirmation where the Tenament details along with the payment amount will be given. Plus, on this same page, you’ll be asked to provide your email id or mobile number. And lastly, hit the ‘Confirm’ button.

Your payment will be authenticated and your credit card or your bank account will be debited in no time. Hereafter, you’ll receive a unique Transaction Reference Number. If your payment is transferred into AMC’s account instantly then you can take a print out of the generated receipt or you can also save the receipt right away. However, if your payment is not reflected into AMC’s account immediately, then the site will mail you the receipt once the transaction is confirmed.
