KMC
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) brass has decided to extend the rebate period till Oct 31 to enable those unable to pay taxes online during the rebate period due to malfunctioning of the KMC server. Also impacted are parents of newborns as well as those who have lost their near and dear ones recently as downloading of birth and death certificates from the Janma Mrityu Tathya portal is not available, again due to the server issue. A KMC assessment department official on Wednesday expressed concern about the dwindling revenue from the property tax source due to the ongoing server malfunctioning. “Our revenue from property tax has dropped significantly in the past one month due to the server hazard.
If the crisis is not resolved, we are going to be the worst affected by the year-end,” said a KMC revenue department official. Kolkata: If you are a property owner and want to clear your tax dues by a specified date to avail of a rebate, you have to wait for some more time. “On the Janma Mrityu Tathya portal, after entering the acknowledgement number, often an OTP is not being delivered on the registered mobile number for downloading death certificates. This apart, the KMC-run Chatbot for applications for birth and death certificates is not properly functioning, making it difficult for the applicants to avail themselves of the essential civic service.
