on LBT collection. At a time when the whole world is
becoming paperless with LBT, traders, manufacturers and
other shopkeepers have to undergo more paperwork and
hand over financial statements to the municipal
corporation from time to time.
• So now, with the introduction of LBT, most traders will end
up giving indirect bribe to one more babu.
