No tax return for salary and interest income up to Rs 5 lakh

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) In India, as many as 85 lakh salaried tax payers whose taxable income, including salary and interest income, is up to Rs 5 lakh, are not required to file income-tax return from now onwards.
"No income-tax returns is required for salaried persons whose annual annual taxable income including salary and interest is up to Rs 5 lakh. We would shortly notify this," a Central Board of Direct Taxes official said.
However, he said this would not cover income from other sources like house property, capital gains and gains from profession and business.
The scheme would be applicable from assessment year 2011-12 onwards. This means that the salaried persons eligible under the scheme would not have to file returns for the financial year 2010-11 in 2011-12 (assessment year).

India hosts 2011 World Environment Day

NEW DELHI: India will host this year's World Environment Day tomorrow and the government has announced that the country will continue to play a very important role in defining the terms of environmental debate at the global level.

Each year a different country is chosen as the principal venue for the global celebration of World Environment Day which falls on June 5 and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has selected India as the global host of this year's programme.

The theme of this years celebration is "Forests: Nature at Your Service", which highlights the crucial environmental and economic roles played by the forests, particularly in India.

"The message is largely to the international community that India is willing and determined to play and is playing a very important role in defining the terms of environmental debate," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh in his message to the world on the occasion.

"It is not just environmental issues. It is also developmental issues. We have seen this in climate change area, we have seen this in biodiversity area and we will continue to be a very pro-active player internationally."

Explaining why India wanted to become the global host, Ramesh said the theme is about forestry conservation, livelihoods, the balance between economic growth and environmental protection and no other countries exemplifies this challenges more vividly than India.

"And also the fact that in 1972, when first UN conference on world environment took place, the person who brought on to the centre-stage the developmental dimension on the environmental issue was India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi," the Minister said.

RWA not responsible for guards'' negligence: Consumer forum

New Delhi, May 31 (PTI) Residents welfare associations cannot be held responsible if an accident takes place within a colony because of negligence of security guards, the Delhi State Consumer Commission has said.

The Commission said that if a resident receives injury due to the laxity of security guard then it does not amount to "deficiency in service" on the part of the association which receives money from the resident for maintaining safe and secure environment.

A bench headed by Justice Barkat Ali Zaidi dismissed the plea of an advocate and a resident of DDA Flats at Sheikh Sarai in South Delhi, seeking compensation of Rs one lakh from them on the grounds that his son was injured by an outsider who entered the colony due to lax vigil by the security guards.

The Commission said that it is not possible for a guard to be present at the colony''s gate round the clock as he is also supposed to look after the society''s other areas too.

"It cannot be said that there arises deficiency of service merely, because, the guard on gate has to look after the parks and the other area, besides the gate. The demand that a guard should always be present at the colony''s gate for 24 hours without a break, is unwarranted and impractical," the commission said.

The bench''s observations came on an appeal filed by the advocate Jai Gupta, challenging a district forum''s order that RWAs cannot be blamed for security lapses because of carelessness of security guards in a colony.

RWAs entitled to charge fee from residents: Court

New Delhi: Owners or occupants of a house are bound to pay the membership fee to the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of the colony to fund its various welfare activities and services, a Delhi court has said.

"Being an occupier of flat, the person is bound by the terms and conditions of the RWA and he is also bound to pay the monthly subscription as he is being benefited by the welfare activities which are carried out by the association," Additional Senior Civil Judge Gautam Manan said.

The court gave this judgement in an over six-year-old dispute, asking S S Rana, a resident of Maurya Enclave at Pitampura in North West Delhi, to pay Rs 3,900 with interest to his RWA, calculated at the rate of Rs 50 per month.

The RWA had filed a suit against Rana contending that as per its rules, it is mandatory on his part to be member of the...association and pay the monthly subscription as it is carrying out welfare activities such as cleanliness of block and park and is also providing watchmen, sweeper, electrician and plumber service to its occupants members including Rana.

This was refuted by Rana saying he is neither a member of the RWA nor bound by its rules and regulations.

The court after hearing both the sides ruled in favour of the RWA and said if the owners and occupants of houses will not pay the fee, it will be impossible for the RWA to carry on with welfare activities and services.

"I am of the considered opinion that the RWA is working for the welfare of its flat owners and occupiers and for extending service to the occupiers it is charging a monthly fee...These activities cannot be carried out if the occupiers stop paying the association their monthly subscription," the judge said....

RWA NEWS : RWA maintained parks better kept than GMADA's

MOHALI: While over 400 parks in Mohali, under the care of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA), are faced with abject maintenance and upkeep for the last 12 months, resident welfare associations (RWAs) in various sectors and phases have been maintaining and beautifying 90 such designated green zones for the same time with contrasting results. After years of spending crores of tax payers money on the issue, GMADA recently took over the maintenance aspect of the said parks from the municipal corporation.
On the other hand, the RWAs have been going about their business with consummate ease and are receiving money from GMADA each month for maintenance of the parks at the rate of Re 1.30 per acre.
Manish Nagpal, a RWA member of Phase-IX said, ''We have been maintaining the neighbourhood park in our locality for the past one-and-a-half years. But parking of vehicles or stray dogs making the park their abode needs to be checked. Though we have asked GMADA authorities to hand over a couple of parks to us for maintenance, they have been reluctant to do so.''In June 2010, GMADA was poised to hand over the periodic maintenance of parks to the council but the local body objected to just being given maintenance charge of the parks and wanted a significant amount of cash to be able to carry out the maintenance of these parks.

Discoms for conservation

If you paint the exterior of your house, especially the rooftop, white and put sun-control film on the glasses of your windows, your home will need up to 20% less air-conditioning than it does now. Tips and tricks like these will go to 27 lakh power consumers across the city from power distributors BSES Yamuna and BSES Rajdhani, which launched the "My Cool Ideas" campaign on Tuesday.
The campaign has invited ideas from residents, students, professionals — essentially everyone who is a power consumer — to conserve electricity through innovative ways and beat the heat.
Consumers of the two discoms supplying in majority of Delhi have been invited to participate and contribute ideas to the company’s website,www.bsesdelhi.com.
In addition to that, the discoms, are also using all their public awareness tools like the Synergy newsletters attached to electricity bills, SMSes, RWA forums etc to engage people in this campaign.

Councillors reject wards' public panel

To promote greater public participation in the decision-making process of the MCD, in March this year, the then mayor PR Sawhney had announced that the civic agency will set up a resident wards committee (RWC) in each of the 272 wards of the city. Through these committees, resident welfare associations (RWAs) will be able to have a say in the policies being made by the councillors.

However, when the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) held a meeting on Tuesday with municipal councillors, most of them rejected the idea saying it will lead to more problems.
Headed by present mayor Rajni Abbi, the meeting was attended by about 30-odd councillors. They said that each ward has a dozen RWAs and if the scheme is implemented, each RWA will demand work only in their area and there will be disputes between them.
Sawhney's idea was that the RWC will be constituted by involving a representative from each RWA within a ward and will be chaired by the ward municipal councillor.

An Open Letter

An Open Letter (to whom they may concern and the authorities at the helm of affairs, right from Hon’ble Lt. Governor and Hon’ble Chief Minister of NCT of Delhi)

            We highly appreciate and acclaim the efforts being made at the top level by holding ‘video conferencing’ and having ‘bhagidari’ scheme, e-governance etc. etc. These are all, of course, get wide publicity through the media! But what is the situation at the ground level! This is worth probing into! Kindly also appreciate and help to resolve the problems. They are innumerable which have been ventilated through various communications and channels to the authorities concerned but no avail. Hence we are expressing over here with expectation that ‘some positive action’ will be taken in the right direction to resolve the problems on a time-bound programme basis. 

            Why we are in the age and time of e-governance the authorities concerned do not give publicity to their e-mail addresses, besides the help lines etc. which are hardly attended to and even attended, there ends the matter!  We have been repeatedly requesting and pleading with the authorities concerned only two minor things and these too are not attended to or complied with!  Can you make them alive to the situation and respond to the various complaints made?  We request them first to acknowledge all communications received by them and second to reply within a time limit and in case of difficulty to appreciate the problem better, give a call to the signatory to meet them in person to understand the problem in proper perspective and answer them at the spot what they propose to do!  Are we asking for more? Be yourself be the judge!!  Herein we are only highlighting and confining to the problems of the Anand Vihar Society which is one of the two biggest cooperative residential housing societies in East Delhi.

            Let’s go department-wise so that there is clarity and direct the grievances to the authorities concerned to respond within a time-limit and give us a target date by which the works required to be carried out will be completed.

  • DJB: Water pipelines were laid over 3 decades back and they are getting corroded and warrant replacement;
    • With the increase in population the gauge of the water pipe lines which may be replaced warrant a wider gauge
    • The sewer lines too, which were laid over three decades back warrant replacement with a wider gauge to meet the requirements. Meanwhile, a thorough mechanized cleaning of the sewer lines is urgently needed to avoid blockade.
    • Timings of supply of water to be publicized for information of all residents.
    • OHT, which has become redundant and obsolete should be replaced with UGR at the same location.
    • Billing system to be streamlined and simplified replacing the existing one.

  • MCD: Inner roads and service lanes are in a very bad shape and they are required to be re-carpetted at the earliest.

    • The entire storm water drains warrant thorough cleaning up and malba to be removed soon thereafter.
    • The drains to be covered with appropriate size of concrete slabs where they are exposed to the sky.
    • Kitchen gardens to be demolished to make space for parking of vehicles which has become a menace
    • Builders to be warned not to block the roads with construction materials and malba which are required to be stacked properly and removed periodically.
    • We appreciate the efforts being made by the local sanitary staff in maintaining cleanliness of the colony to a large extent despite mounting garbage!

  • BSES: Switch boxes at the appropriate places should be fixed on the street light poles to save electricity which will be taken care of by volunteers in the Society

    • CFL bulbs to be made available at subsidized rates to the residents or at cost price which could save electricity.
    • We highly appreciate the sincere Herculean efforts being made by the BSES in maintaining/repairing and attending to complaints promptly!

  • DDA: No attention is being paid to one portion of the District Park (Anand Vihar side)  facing the railway line for cleanliness, planting, watering, repair of the boundary walls etc.

    • The walk-path requires repair/smoothening and avoid obstructions.
    • A tree which had fallen a few months required to be removed.
    • Provision of mast-light is urgently required for the benefit of senior citizens etc. who use the walking path in the nights as well.
    • A few more concrete benches are required on this portion, indicated above, for the benefit of senior citizens

  • Railway: The entire portion of land belonging to the Northern Railway at Anand Vihar railway station, Delhi Division, warrant through cleaning, lighting, sineage with display of timings of trains passing through this halt station and a clear path to reach the Anand Vihar terminal from this Anand Vihar suburban station.  Frequent ticket checking is required to be made and eliminate unauthorized loading of commercial goods from this station to Ghaziabad etc.

Problems of EWS RESIDENTS WELFARE ASSOCIATION, Rohini

Dear Sir/Madam

Let me take this opportunity to introduce me as General Secretary, "C-BLOCK EWS RESIDENTS WELFARE ASSOCIATION" Sector-5, Rohini, Delhi-110085. I would like to draw your attention towards the many hardships being faced by the residents of our area which are briefly mentioned hereunder:

1.The roads in the colony are in real bad shape with lots of pot holes and dug up at number of places.
2.There is no control of fast and rash vehicular traffic ( Speed Breakers Suggested on roads ).
3.Parks are in worst state with no one from MCD to take care of.
4.There is no bus shelter at the Sector-5 Bus Stop situated on the main road dividing Sector-5 and Sector-6 near Mount Abu School.
5.Dust Bins ( Dhallans ) as the MCD calls them are not properly handled. The garbage remains scattered on the road outside Dhallan which is an easy source of dreaded diseases.
6.The Fair Price Shops in the area do not distribute ration to the card holders and are manipulating supplies in connivance of the concerned Food and Supply Officers.

Hope someone from the concerned departments shall take notice of our plight and do the needful .

RWAs to have role in new MCD Act

New Act To Dump Redundant Sections

Ambika Pandit TNN

New Delhi: The Congress may be struggling to arrive at a compromise formula over splitting the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. But retired IAS officer K Dharmarajan and his team of experts charged with the responsibility of drafting a new legislation to replace the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act 1957 has already got down to the task of preparing a policy paper that will outline the contours of the new Bill.

    Besides weeding out large chunks of redundant provisions, the process seeks to create a local body framework that will involve greater participation of people through resident welfare associations (RWAs) and the voluntary sector. The committee wants to be ready with the draft legislation within three months. It will then be sent to the Delhi government. The Centre needs to approve the new legislation as the existing Act is a central legislation.

    In 2002, another report prepared by Dharmarajan became the basis of the property tax reform and led to a shift to the present unit area method of taxation.

    The DMC Act committee discussed the existing Act and the framework for the new legislation in its meeting on Friday. The first thing on its plate is the large chunks of the DMC Act which have no relevance to the MCD’s functioning any more. For instance, water, electricity, land use, the Delhi fire service and the slum wing, which were once municipal functions, are no longer under the jurisdiction of the corporation.

    The members feel that the new Act should simplify civic administration which is likely to be split into five even if the wards stay at 272. People’s participation is considered critical to make local-self government a reality. Thus, RWAs and NGOs may get a crucial role in the ward committees. The existing structure of ward committees is almost redundant and these committees are likely to great a strong role.

    The members are also trying to consolidate the civic administration as a body that will focus on socio-economic change. With MCD allocating funds for social benefits to the underprivileged like old age, widow pension, grants for marriage of daughters of widows, discussions are on to bring these functions under one umbrella for better management.

    The state government roped in Dharmarajan in February to assist the first political committee constituted to prepare a report on restructuring of MCD. Its report recommended a five-way split for the MCD. The Delhi cabinet cleared the report in principle. But some Congress MLAs and most councillors are opposed to it.

As MCD is starved of finance : some suggestions !

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

We have been hearing that MCD is starved of finance and hence they are unable to undertake execution of all important pending projects. Here are a few suggestions for consideration for enhancing the finances of the MCD and make them to clear all pending works in a systematic and programmed manner to make Delhites happy and grateful to MCD!

1. It is noted that only 40 to 50% persons are paying property tax while the rest are not taxed. This should be tapped and strenuous and consistent efforts should be made on an 'operational' basis to net more revenue.
2. When the property value is soaring up in Delhi beyond imagination, people demand reduction in property tax! Is it not paradoxical? Why not an annual increase of 1 or 2% of the tax paid in the previous year so that people are aware in advance that they have to pay more in the following years. Are not prices of all articles soaring up, pension being increased, milk and petrol prices being increased periodically and water charges are being increased silently without anybody's knowledge by various means i.e. sewer and service charges etc.!
3. Hoardings in public places and inside the various colonies could also net some revenue, if the check is made periodically and properly.
4. Why worship places who amass wealth do not pay any tax, including property tax while occupying 'unauthorized' parks etc. where worship places come up overnight touching the hearts of everyone.
5. We have to park vehicles on MCD land inside the colony, why the MCD do not charge those who park their cars on an annual or periodical basis, based on space occupied.
6. Rental value of various accommodation let out by residents is going up but there is no proportionate increase in the amount of property tax being paid.
7. The MCD could arrange to collect the property tax from all recognized colonies by holding camps etc. say within 3 months from the commencement of financial year i.e. 30th June with no further relaxation on dates, so that the MCD could earn astronomical amount on 'bank interest' etc.

The above are some stray thoughts but could be many more!The above may be thought-provoking and may be criticized also by many, but let us touch our heart and do some justice, so that the MCD could concentrate and improve the roads, service lanes and other facilities required to be provided by them like cleanliness of the colonies etc. When there is an all round increase in every aspect, is it justified for seeking reduction in property tax instead giving valuable ideas and suggestions to improve the finances of the MCD!  Our expectations from civic agencies are very high and always critical but when it comes to payment to them, we grudge.
