New Property tax system unfair to old buildings?
From the Times of India 12.May.2012 MUMBAI: Despite the claims of the civic body on having transparency and parity in the new capital value-based property tax system, citizens seem unhappy at the development. They feel that while a handful of new buildings that have come up after 2005 will benefit from the new system, several old structures will face a high rate of taxation. According to BMC data, 27% or 3.87 lakh properties will benefit from tax reduction, whereas 19% or 2.75 lakh properties will face a higher rate of taxation, which will be up to two times the original amount paid. The maximum number of such structures are found in Andheri-Vile Parle west (50,000), Bandra-Khar-Santa Cruz west (34,000) and Esplanade-Fort-Colaba (11,000). Anandini Thakoor, chairperson of the H-West Ward Welfare Association, said: “I understand that expenses have risen. But to shift the burden to citizens is not justified. Residents of some old buildings will have to face a 100% rise in tax. The tax slab should have been lower.” Many felt that the approval to collect rent in retrospect was unjust. AGNI coordinator Raj Kumar Sharma said: “The state had to amend the present law to make it possible. The…
Fraud,cheating cases filed against builder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xDj0DDnCc0 Developer failed to stick to bldg plan, gave residents possession without OC Two separate cases of fraud and cheating have been registered in Navi Mumbai against a group of builders and government officials on the directions of the high court. The order came after Navi Mumbai residents Sunil Kumar Lahoriya and Pramod Mittal moved a writ petition in the court. In the first case, Lahoriya moved a criminal writ petition against builders and NMMC officials on the ‘illegal construction’ of Vignahar CHS at sector 14, Nerul. The petition asked permission to file an FIR in the case and the court directed the local police station to register a complaint. According to the complainant, the builders of Vignahar CHS had two structural plans for the building of which one was approved by NMMC,but the building was constructed as per the other plan. Lahoriya bought a flat in the building and since no society had been formed, he was authorised by other members to sue the builder on their behalf. Lahoriya’s advocate said his client obtained the original plan of the building using RTI and came to know that it was not what had been promised in the brochure. In the Vignahar CHS…
Mumbai airport encroachment clearance frozen for past 5 years
References:Times of India.May 12 Almost 5 years after the slum areas around Mumbai airport (Santa Cruz) were supposed to be cleared,almost nothing has changed on the ground.Almost 276 acres of land,supposed to have been cleared by the contractor HDIL,are still very much in possession of the slum dwellers.In the meanwhile,HDIL has already made a windfall profit of 2000 crores by selling the TDR it got in exchange for building tenements for the ‘relocated’ slumdwellers on its land in and around Kurla. The total families residing in the slums numbers approx 85,000 families (or 3.5 lakh people).HDIL has so far made only (claims by the company) 10,000 tenements.Of this the Slum rehabilitation Authority has has handed over only 2000 tenements to MMRDA for allotment to the slum dwellers.But on the ground,only 500 tenements have been actually allotted.These 500 families were shifted as they were coming in the way of the sahar elevated road from WE highway to International airport. The confusion about who is eligible and who is not is only set to intensify as more than 50% of the slumdwellers are ineligible for the houses.The govt has set the year 2000 as the cut-off date for the houses.Which means…
