Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation — Do we need to also pay for picking up the garbage to the garbage collector every month?

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Dear Sir/Madam, I have recently moved to house no. 1-111/1/A/114, Raghavendra Colony, Kondapur. Recently I encountered a strange scenario, the care taker of my building came to me asking for Rs. 40. On questioning he said that this money was for the garbage collectors as they have said that for picking up the garbage they will charge 40 rupees each from all flats. There are about 12 flats and so that makes 480 each month. Also they seems to have said that if they are not paid the money they will not pick the garbage. I have stayed in Bangalore, Delhi and Kolkata for few years, but I have never seen this kind of demand for money. So I would like to know what is the protocol here in Hyderabad regarding the payment of money to garbage collection?
