Bengaluru: There has been an increase in property tax collection under BBMP. A 'mobile notice' is being issued to the owners in view of achieving the full target.
At the end of FY31, 64.50 percent of the tax was collected, and as per the target recorded in the budget, ₹1,619 crore is yet to be collected. A target of ₹ 372 crore more than the last financial year has been set this year.
As of January 2022-23, property tax had been collected at ₹2,890 crore. By the end of October this year, the mark of ₹ 3 thousand crore has been reached. Although this is a record collection, one and a half thousand crores is still outstanding. So BBMP decided to collect all this.
A one-time message was sent to the owner's mobile for property tax arrears. But, this year SMS is repeatedly sent to the mobile, requesting to pay tax. Also, the zonal authorities have been instructed to take further action as per the rules.
'Property tax is the primary and most important source of revenue for a city corporation. All property owners should pay their property taxes promptly. "SMS messages and letters/notices are being sent to the owners who have arrears," said Munish Maudgil, Special Commissioner, Revenue Department, BBMP.
Online link https://bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in can be used to pay property tax. He said that if there are any queries, if information is required, the helpline can be called 1533.
Property tax review begins
BBMP has started the process of physically inspecting the properties in the city and issuing 'Demand Notice' to pay the correct tax.
Owners are paying tax under self-declared tax system. However, there are many differences in this. Therefore, revenue officers of BBMP are physically inspecting each building, fixing its tax and digitizing it. It is suggested that this tax, which is fixed zone wise, should be paid.
When the building tax is rescheduled, it is not visible in the owner's login. What is in the 'Demand Notice' is not changing online. Thus confusion is created. The officials also said that arguments are going on between the owners and the officials.
A target has been given that the Revenue Inspector (RI) and Tax Inspector (TI) should check 25 properties each day and fix the actual tax. A circle of six thousand properties is to be maintained by RI and TI. In addition to this, we have the work of preparation of voter list for Vidhan Parishad election, Lok Sabha election, property-advertisement department. It is a stressful job and they are working till 10 at night,' the revenue department staff of BBMP said.
