Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) announced a budget of Tk4,004 crore 60 lakh for the current FY2026–27.
DSCC Administrator Md Abdus Salam announced the budget at DSCC Nagar Bhaban Auditorium on Thursday, said a press release.
The budget was approved at the 14th corporation meeting of Dhaka South City Corporation Governing Committee held on July 26.
The budget for FY2025–26 was Tk3,841 crore 38 lakh, while the revised budget for FY2025–26 stood at Tk3,138 crore 77 lakh.
In the FY2026–27 budget, the total receipts target, including the opening balance, has been set at Tk4,004 crore 60 lakh. Of this, the opening balance is Tk730 crore 93 lakh, the revenue collection target is Tk1,815 crore 74 lakh, and the development income target is Tk1,457 crore 93 lakh.
On the expenditure side, a total allocation of Tk4,004 crore 60 lakh has been earmarked for FY2026–27, including operational and capital expenditure, development expenditure, and the closing balance. Of this, the closing balance is Tk540 crore 50 lakh, the allocation for operational and capital expenditure is Tk1,559 crore 68 lakh, and the allocation for development expenditure is Tk1,904 crore 42 lakh.
In his budget speech, Md Abdus Salam said, “We have tried to formulate a realistic and implementable budget rather than an ambitious budget with a large financial outlay. In the FY2026–27 budget, no additional taxes have been imposed on the respected city residents, nor have tax rates been increased. Instead, new revenue heads have been created to increase the City Corporation’s own-source income. Unnecessary expenditure has also been reduced where appropriate.”
For the implementation of the budget, the Administrator sought the overall cooperation and participation of the Government of Bangladesh, the Local Government Division, various government and private organisations, development partner agencies, the media, civil society, the business community, and above all, the respected citizens of DSCC.
