The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) shifted his focus on to the lack of transparency of occupancy in film theaters in Hyderabad. Many theaters are reportedly under reporting the occupancy numbers in the Daily Collection Reports there by evading the Entertainment Tax.
GHMC had created a new web-based online system which will it would be possible to know how many cinema halls exist in the twin cities, and how many screens and seats are available. This system will bring transparency regarding the occupancy in theaters and will ensure the Entertainment is paid correctly.
The online system will be implemented from the first week of March. It is recently demonstrated to the cinema hall owners in the city by GHMC officials. Currently the corporation is getting 7 Crore per month as Entertainment Tax.
