Some Facts from Property Tax Interim Report about Inability to prepare a proper data base of all properties

The Expert Committee had recommended a complete inventory of properties in Delhi through a field  survey  on  a  100%  basis  updated  in  subsequent  years  through regular periodical surveys and inspection.  The data base so created was to  be  linked  to  a  GIS  System  and  a  digitized  urban  map.    An  Urban Mapping  division  manned  by  trained  staff  was  to  be  set  up.    Each building/property was to be given a unique Property Identification Code (PIC).    This  recommendation  of  the  Committee  is  the  basis  of  the  statutory  requirements  of  Section  125  of DMC Act  which has  not  been implemented  yet.

However, for the purpose of  the  present  discussion  it  may  be  pointed  out  that  the  purpose  of  the effort to prepare an updated data base, was to ensure the compliance at the  level  of  70%  in  terms  of  filing  of  returns.    The  present  compliance level appears to be far  lower.

 

MY QUESTION FROM ALL OF YOU :

1. Why the system could not be implemented from 2004 - 2010 ? Who is responsible for this ?

2. Why even the Expert committee asked for 70% compliance of filing of returns & not 100% ?

MY QUESTION FROM ALL OF YOU :

The House Tax was raised many times after the introduction of the Unit Area Method. Than how it's possible that  not only the collections reduced but the number of properties paying house tax also reduced ?

MCD on Facebook ! Citizens can help in keeping the city Clean by Monitoring the following :

- Garbage will be lifted daily (including Sunday) from all the designated garbage collection sites. The garbage clearing timing is displayed on each designated site. - 25 meters surrounding the site should be kept clean.

- The garbage collection site will be washed & disinfected on weekends.
-There need to be adequate number of bins at each site.

-The garbage collection sites should be in good condition and the bins should not have breakages and cracks

POST a complaint if you observe any of the above service is/are not delivered in your area. In your complaint please mention garbage collection site number, which is written on a board at the garbage collection site itself.

Proprty Tax Issue : Must view & Revert

property tax and citizens

We must jointly submit response to arbitrary increase in property tax
it is necessary to expose the lax mcd on collection of taxes from only9 lacs properties as against existing 30 lacs.So if existing properties are brought in tax net,there may be even surplus money.
Perhaps it may be worthwhile to post salient features on blog so that constituetns or others could post comments quickly.

You may please draw the attention of all our members and seek their comments which may be consolidated and presented to MCD, as required for their consideration. This is an urgent matter and please take immediate n/a, as you may deem fit!

Delhi Police Plans To Name Drunk Drivers On Its Website

It could well be a 'Hall of Shame' on the website of Delhi Police if its plans to make public the names of those jailed for drunken driving in the national capital come through.

 

The move comes in the backdrop of its plan to clear the Delhi roads of traffic violators and educate people against the dangers of drunken driving.

"We are mulling the possibility of putting the names of those convicted for drunken driving on our website. We don't think that there could be any problem as it is a list of people who were jailed by courts," Satyendra Garg, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), told PTI.

Last year, over 10,800 people were fined for driving under the influence of alcohol. Out of this, driving licences of 580 were suspended while 710 people were imprisoned upto ten days.

In 2008, a total of 7,579 people were prosecuted for drunken driving while the next year saw a steep increase in challans on this front to 12,109. The figure in 2007 for the same offence was 3,748.
