Subject: [hw_ward_citizens_forum] Fixing Capital Values of Lands & Buildings.
Hello Concerned citizens
Hope you all remember that in 2010 end the MCGM had come out with the "Draft Rules Fixing Capital Values of Lands Buildings." We had a meeting in Bandra to protest/oppose the proposed rules; where the assessment dept., MCGM and the three member committee representatives promised to reconsider the Draft Rules about the fixing of Property Tax.
The most disappointing part is that we citizens have been taken for a ride. All the efforts of the 214 groups. representing Thousands or maybe lakhs of people have been in vain. None of our suggestions/objections sent to the MCGM earlier have been considered while preparing the final draft presented to the Standing Committee. This makes us wonder as to why the authorities undergo this farce of "Public Hearings"? Why the whole exercise of suggestions/objections from people?
Perhaps this is the reason why these rules were not passed before the elections. No matter what the BMC or the State Govt. may say, we are all going to be affected. Inspite of all the promises, all the taxes have been raised, Water, BEST, electricity, the list just goes on. Open spaces are in danger once again.
Floor rise tax remains, underground storage tank tax, appurtenant land tax remains, extra open land tax, remains, "Luxury" building tax remains. In short everything they wanted to tax, but we vehemently opposed and explained to be unjust is still going to be taxed.
I know the time is very short, but I hope to get the copy of the final draft rules translated in English shortly which I shall put up on HW-Ward_citizens_forum@yahoogroups.com
. I don't know how we can make an effort to stop this injustice. The house will decide (Hopefully not) about these draft Property Tax rules on 10th April, 2012.
ASK YOUR CORPORATORS, SINCE THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES, TO OPPOSE THESE RULES IN THE PRESENT FORM.
