Dear Manoj bhai,
Unknown to most Mumbaikars, BMC issued a circular last month giving notice that the Capital Valuation for the forthcoming years has been completed for fixing up Property tax applicable to property owners and that “they will be available for inspection at the office of the Asstt. Assessor and Collector in the respective wards… between 23rd March 2017 to 13th April 2017.”
It added that “complaints against the Capital Values… must be made in writing by the property owners themselves or by the persons duly authorized by them under a power of attorney.”
Sometimes, the assessment department makes mistakes in fixing the capital value, which results in huge disputed dues.
If the window of opportunity given under the circular is not promptly availed, then property owners such as housing societies are left with the costly option of going to small causes court against excessive billing.
It is unfair that only three weeks time is given to citizens for verifying the new capital valuations, on the basis of which lakhs of rupees are charged to more than 30,000 cooperative housing societies and other property owners.
Our NGO, Alert Citizens Forum of India is creating awareness amongst people that they should check their Capital Valuation and in case of any mistakes, lodge complaint.
We have prepared a format of the Complaint form for the benefit of the people - which is attached herewith.
We request you to take up the issue with the BMC authorities and get the date extended by another 15 days and also publicize the issue in newspapers so people can have adequate time to respond.
We are attaching the BMC circular for your information.
Regards,
For Alert Citizens Forum of India,
