The justifying reason behind the deprived property tax collection is that, most of the revenue employees are busy in frittering their time in getting hold of provisions that needs to widen Amma canteens, stated by a senior official of the civic body.
In general, the civic bodies will be collecting 3 - 4 Crores as property tax on the daily basis, but this count has meagre to 1 – 2 Crores, based on the few reasons including:
• Preparing final list of voter’s for poll
• Taking part in the training on effective polls
• Hand-out of government’s free gifts
• Task for Adhar Card Enrolment
In the fiscal year, the civic body shows the property tax collection of about only 390 Crores seek out for an aim of 550 Crores. This deficit bangs several infrastructure ventures like bus shields, public toilets, new innovative roads, garbage consents and sum of wages to staffs.
We really lack in collecting tax and incapable of carry out the inspections, as we held up in managing the Amma canteens, a corporation official says.
Among all the metros, Chennai is the least property tax rate payers since 1998. But even then, thousands of properties are forfeiting lower tax to the corporation which leads to huge shortfall.
