Following the recent
introduction of 2 new features in its website, the Coimbatore Corporation has
now added one more - property tax calculation.
According to
Commissioner in-charge Mr. S. Sivarasu, the new feature relates to property tax
and lets the assessee know how the civic body calculates the same.
He said, ''If the
assessee were to click ‘Public Disclosures’ in the home page, the server will
take them to a page containing a list of options, of which the link number 12
is ‘Know how my tax is calculated’.
A click on the link
will take the assessee or / those
interested to a calculation sheet - Property Tax Calculator, which contains
total building plinth area, approved building area, unapproved building area,
if any, building location, area of building, etc..!
In all, there are 12
f ields. If the assessee were to fill in all the details, he or / she will be able to understand how the civic
body calculated property tax.
Mr. Sivarasu also
said, ''The move to introduce the feature was also part of the Corporation’s
efforts to bring in a transparent administration & improve
e-governance".
Only recently did the
Coimbatore Corporation introduce short message service facility for building
plan approval applicants. The Auto Development Control Rules system will inform
the applicant if his/her application has been accepted or rejected and the
application status, if accepted.
The second was the
move to paste quick response code on property tax booklets for the assessee to
find out the tax and also check if the civic body has received the payment.
The third was the
plan to make available online birth and death certificates. During the last
Council meeting on January 31, 2013 Mr. Sivarasu said that from April 1, 2013
onwards, the Corporation would make this feature available.
That apart, the Kovai
Corporation plans to make available online the resolutions of various standing
committees and zonal meetings, official orders and also press releases.
Also included in the
same would be information on forthcoming meetings of standing committees, zones
and also that of the Council.
In addition to these,
the civic body will also totally revamp the website to make it more
user-friendly.
The moves come even
as the Coimbatore Consumer Cause has sought changes to the Corporation website www.ccmc.gov.in
In a letter to the
Corporation, the organisation’s secretary Mr. K. Kathirmathiyon had said that
the Corporation should post acts & rules that it followed and was governed
by, all Government orders that concerned the civic body, the agendas &
minutes of Council meetings, details of public parks, playgrounds, parking
fees, including those determined for fairs / or exhibitions, details of
community halls, wedding halls along with the rent fixed, grievance redress
system, etc.
Mr. Kathirmathiyon
said,'' The more the details, the higher the level of transparency & by
adopting the same the Corporation will be able to set a trend in the Tamil Nadu
State".
