NAGPUR: Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has vowed to fast track the revaluation and assessment work of properties for tax purposes pending for last many years. The delay is causing not only great inconvenience to the citizens but also losses to NMC.
Deputy mayor Sandip Jadhav, who is also a former staffer of NMC's property tax department, said the plan would be finalized once the decision on property tax based on ready reckoner was taken. "There are around 5.50 lakh properties in the city. Their revaluation has to be undertaken every five years. Process was started in 1998 and then again in 2008 but not completed. Revaluation of only 25-30% of properties was done in 2008 when base rate-based property tax was implemented. Private agencies were also roped in for the work in 2011 but nothing could happen. This has led to discrepancy. Citizens whose properties were revaluated are paying higher tax while others pay very low tax. Now revaluation will be completed in six months," he said.
Jadhav also said there were over 70,000 new properties awaiting assessment. "That work will also be undertaken. Many such properties are located on the outskirts of the city. Many open plots are also to be assessed. We are also thinking of going in for computerization of property tax department," he said.
In 2010-11, then chairman of standing committee Sandip Joshi had informed that over 1 lakh properties needed to be assessed. Joshi even conducted surprise inspections at zone offices and exposed many files pending for assessment. During tenure of Vikas Thakre as mayor, a big scam was exposed in the assessment of new properties. Thakre had also suspended many staffers from the department. NMC had even obtained satellite images for bringing all properties under purview of tax. But nothing was done on the ground.
Meanwhile, Mayor Anil Sole, Jadhav, chairman of standing committee Dayashankar Tiwari and leader of ruling party Praveen Datke along with the officials on Thursday visited the construction site of Namantar Shaheed Smarak at Indora square in North Nagpur. Jadhav said the work was expected to complete by December. "Smarak will pay tributes to 10 persons who sacrificed their lives for renaming Marathwada University after Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. It is being constructed on 2,225 sq mtr land at the cost of Rs 1.58 crore," he said.
