BENGALURU: BBMP has started the work of digitising the information of properties in the city and erasing the property tax being paid under self-declaration tax system.
Digitization has been started in the context of providing all the documents including property account, account transfer online. This message is being sent to the property owner's mobile and BBMP officials said to provide information accordingly.
Owners are paying tax under self-declared property tax system. However, there are many differences in this. Therefore, BBMP has started issuing 'Demand Notice' from 1st of November to ask the Revenue Officers of BBMP to physically check every building and pay the correct tax. Along with this, the officials of the revenue department have been instructed to carry out the digitization process as well.
Target of 40 properties:
'The process of property tax verification and digitization of documents is being carried out simultaneously, and the target has been given that the revenue inspector and the tax inspector should complete the process of 40 properties each day', said Ajay, joint commissioner of Rajarajeshwarinagar zone.
How much property tax is being paid under self-declared property tax system since 2016. What is the actual area of the building? Information will be checked for map violations. A notice will be issued to the property owners to pay the difference amount and interest due from 2016.
"In the past, properties were randomly checked for payment of property tax and notices were issued if there was any discrepancy. Now all properties are being checked. In addition, the digitization process is also being carried out to make all the documents of the properties available online,' he informed.
Property tax payment receipt and electricity bill of BESCOM should be provided for property record digitization and property tax review. From the electricity bill, it will be known whether they have been living in the house since then and whether they have been paying taxes since then,' he said.
Message to provide record
Digitization of asset records is underway. BBMP is sending messages (SMS) in Kannada and English to property owners. During the physical inspection of the property, the owners of the properties should provide the necessary documents to our revenue department officials," said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.
Bank interest only!
Self declaration property tax system has been in force since 2016-17 under BBMP. Then identify those who have wrongly entered the zone in 2017-18 itself.
They should have been given notice. However, the notice has been issued in August 2021. Thus, double tax cannot be collected as penalty. Also, the government has issued strict directives that the revenue authorities should improve tax validation checks.
The BBMP has been informed that the bank may charge the difference amount and interest rate on the same. The cabinet meeting held on January 5, 2022 has decided that if there is any loss to BBMP due to this order, the government will not bear it. Accordingly, the Urban Development Department has issued an order on September 13, 2023.
'Duct on Roads by BBMP'
Bengaluru: BBMP plans to lay large-scale pipes on roads in the city and provide them to telecom or cable companies on rent basis, said Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.
There is a duct system in White Topping and some major roads. Other roads do not have this system. So many organizations are digging the road to install cable or OFC. It is planned to avoid this," he informed the reporters on Monday.
Installing a large size pipe in the road will avoid digging the road again and again. Therefore, it is planned to install the pipe by BBMP. Tenders will be called for this project soon, he said.
Compared to BBMP, BESCOM has installed more cables through ducts in the city. There are ducts on some roads of BBMP. BESCOM has about 400 km of ducts. OFC and cable companies should adopt their cables in this. Apart from this, there is no permission to install the cable elsewhere,' said Tushar Girinath.
Unauthorized cables installed on pavements and poles are being cleared in many parts of the city including Mahadevpur area. Cable companies have been informed about this. Unauthorized cable should be taken by himself. Otherwise, we will vacate.
