Niranjan Singh Chauhan, Revenue Incharge of Municipal Corporation has clarified that the event will be allowed only after the tax is deposited in due time to the organization. He also said that this step has been taken after learning a lesson from the non-receipt of tax in the earlier Diljit Dosanjh concert. Meanwhile, the Mayor of Indore city, Pushyamitra Bhargava has written a letter to the Police Commissioner in this regard.

It is also being said if the tax is not deposited, the corporation will not issue NOC, and without it, the program will not be possible. According to the Municipal Corporation, entertainment tax was not deposited in singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert a few months ago, due to which the corporation suffered revenue loss. Keeping this in mind, this time emphasis is being laid on depositing the tax before Honey Singh’s concert.
