Govt. will devise system to deliver property documents on the doorstep of owners in Bengaluru: D.K. Shivakumar

Govt. will devise system to deliver property documents on the doorstep of owners in Bengaluru: D.K. Shivakumar

The Hindu
Saturday, July 15, 2023 5:55 PM GMT

BBMP to deliver property docs to owners' doorsteps, end tax evasion. Deputy CM Shivakumar said a system similar to 'Bhoomi' model will be devised. To increase revenue, BBMP to conduct mapping to create list of evaders. To involve children in Brand Bengaluru campaign, debate competitions to be held. New policy for footpaths to benefit both street vendors and pedestrians. Cameras to be installed to catch trucks dumping waste.

Bengaluru

Soon, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will deliver property documents on the doorstep of owners, eliminating the hassles they face to procure them in government offices.

Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister D.K. Shivakumar said the government would devise a system in line with the former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna’s ‘Bhoomi’ model, formulated to deliver pahani documents to landowners in the villages. Mr. Shivkumar said this would also help end tax evasion. He said this after interacting with members of the residents’ welfare associations (RWAs) from across the city on Saturday.

“Under the self-assessment system, tax evasion has been a major issue as owners are under-assessing properties to evade tax. Once the property attributes are fully digitised and documents prepared, there will be no scope for under-assessment as the BBMP will also have details of the properties. This system is also being introduced with the aim of revenue mobilisation,” Mr. Shivakumar said.

He said during the interaction, the RWA members told him that while many loyal taxpayers had been facing problems due to glitches, evaders had been let off. In view of this, the BBMP would conduct mapping to create a list of evaders. “The State does not discriminate against ordinary and big taxpayers and everyone has to pay taxes,” he said.

In a unique initiative, Mr. Shivakumar said the government would hold debate competitions among schools for children to come up with suggestions to develop the city and highlight the problems. He said he had spoken to an event organiser and soon a “Verbattle” would be held. “As children are the future and these developments are being done for them, it is vital to listen to their vision,” he said, responding to a question by a member of an RWA on involving children in the Brand Bengaluru campaign.
