In new block period, tax payers will get tax-paid only after the realization of cheque. According to BBMP, cheques submitted by the tax payers in current block period nearly 13,000 cheques had problems. Out of these, 6,000 cheques had no date or even payee name on the cheque. The tax-payers were traced by using contact detail available on the cheque. Out of 8000 cheques received, 4000 cheques are yet to be encashed.
The new block period tax starts from July 1st. Property owner’s can start paying their property tax online from this July 1st. BBMP will introduce system of giving tax-paid receipt only after realization of cheque from new block period. Since many people use tax-paid receipt for rebate on income-tax, BBMP may write to the Income Tax department, asking it to decline exemption to defaulters till their cheques are encashed.
June 30, is last date for filing returns for current block period (2008-09). One day is left to pay the second half year installment without 2% penal interest and last day for filing revised returns. BBMP has also issued a notification to occupiers of tenant property to ensure prompt payment. BBMP is planning to have separate windows for collecting tax and revised returns, anticipating the response in past few days.
