Embarking on a transformative journey, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) aims to streamline property tax valuation for new properties within its vibrant cityscape. A recent directive, echoing a resolute vision, empowers the tax department with a clear and decisive timeline for evaluation. The corporation mandates that properties with building use (BU) permission must undergo evaluation within 45 days of issuance. The chairman of AMC's revenue committee, Jainik Vakil, spearheads this audacious initiative, accentuating the importance of adhering to the stipulated timeframe. Failure to comply with the designated timeline will incur stringent consequences. The onus of accountability rests not only on the department but also on the responsible officials tasked with executing the evaluations.
AMC takes a proactive approach to rectify past delays in informing the tax department about properties granted BU permission. The estate department receives a compelling directive, compelling them to promptly inform the respective zone inspector within 10 days of BU permission issuance. The Zone inspector assumes a crucial role as the evaluator of property tax, bestowing valid and recognized proof of residence to the esteemed property owners. The AMC has recognized the Property Tax Bill's potential as an address proof, resulting in immediate access for people to obtain their tax bill. Traditionally, tax bills for new properties were issued in the builder's name, causing misunderstandings between the builder and the buyer after the sale deed. However, with this proactive approach, such conflicts are skilfully averted, fostering harmonious relationships between all parties involved.
The issuance of initial bills shall henceforth bear the name of the property owner upon completion of the comprehensive evaluation, provided registration formalities are accomplished. The ultimate objective is to create an efficient and harmonious system, empowering the e-governance department to seamlessly upload property tax bills for newly constructed properties into the dynamic system. Jainik Vakil underscores the gravity of this transformative endeavour, ensuring all officials comprehend the gravity of their responsibilities. Any delays or inefficiencies in the evaluation process will be met with appropriate action, reinforcing the unwavering commitment to a streamlined and transparent tax valuation and administration.
As AMC forges ahead with this visionary trajectory, property owners and potential buyers alike can anticipate a seamless and efficient tax valuation process, setting new standards for administrative prowess within the bustling city of Ahmedabad. The AMC's resolute determination to champion innovation, drive progress, and create a future that thrives on transparency and accountability echoes loudly in this pivotal move towards an even more prosperous cityscape.
