Yathindra Siddaramaiah
Speaking at a progress review meeting held here, the minister pointed out that some commercial shops have not paid property tax since 2011 and asked officials to issue notices and take action as per rules against those that have defaulted for more than two years. Mysuru : Urban development and district minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday directed Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) authorities to take action against commercial establishment owners for not having paid taxes for one-and-a-half decades.
“All properties under MCC must be mapped so that property tax can be collected accurately.
Besides, rent revisions should be carried out regularly for markets and commercial shops under MCC limits, as this would help increase civic revenue,” he said. Meanwhile, he instructed that MCC and urban local bodies must actively encourage property owners to obtain e-khata for their properties and intensify the ongoing drive.
Narasimharaja MLA Tanveer Sait said the people who originally signed rental agreements and those currently doing business in those spaces are often different, and this must be corrected.
