NAVI MUMBAI:
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has found certain persons refraining from
paying property tax. Hence the corporation is trying to wage a kind of war with
these property tax defaulters to recover from them the pending tax amounts.
They have come up with a plan which consists of choosing certain officials of
NMMC, from the level of additional commissioner to lower official, to form a
special squad. This squad will be trained to do all the recoveries of unpaid
property tax.
There are some people who take loans from banks to
purchase houses. Hence the bank has a record of such clients. These banks have
also will be assigned the job to track down these clients and recover from them
the unpaid taxes. The banks will also be given the power to seize their houses
if they refused to pay the property tax totally.
It is found that three or four persons out of 10 do not
pay tax regularly. Some have migrated to other places without paying the tax.
But the civic body has found a way to track them down too and get them to pay
the pending tax amount.
NMMC has sent this master plan to the state government.
The ball is now in the court of the government and it is left to the state to
decide whether to implement this plan or not.
