Chennai Corporation: Widen Net on Property Tax

 The Chennai Corporation will conduct a study and survey on buildings including courts, police stations and police quarters yet to be covered under the property tax as part of the effort to improve tax collection. 

The revenue department of Chennai Corporation has intensified efforts to increase property tax collection. The Chennai Corporation plans to issue notices to buildings that have failed to pay property tax.

Disconnect Water Supply..!

Buildings such as court buildings in Tiruvottiyur, Alandur, Saidapet, Egmore and George Town, private markets & business establishments in malls will also be brought under the scanner.

The civic body will ask Metrowater to disconnect water supply to buildings that have not paid property tax.

The Chennai Corporation has set a target of setting up 2,000 bank counters in the city for walk in payment of property tax to improve tax collection. So far, the Corporation has set up 244 bank counters where residents can remit property tax. These include the braches of IDBI , HDFC, IOB (Indian Overseas Bank), CUB (City Union Bank) & Karur Vysya Bank.

The computerisation of data on property tax in the added zones of Tiruvottiyur & Ambattur has been completed and residents in these zones will be able to remit property tax in banks.

10.71 Lakh Assessees..!

Other zones will become part of the system soon. Property tax demand for the current year is Rs. 477.62 crore for the 10.71 lakh assessees.
