Greater Chennai Corporation — Fixation of property tax by the Tax Collectors attached to the TN Revenue dept;

It is obvious that the TN Govt. has been struggling with its alarming financial crunch and wants to garner more& more revenues by all crooked methods to meet the expenses related to the new unwelcome projects involving huge amount announced daily by the CM.One of the unjustifiable ways is the recent hike in the property tax and other tax structures.
However, as petitions were made by the public to the Madras HC, the court announced an interim stay, restricting the Govt.not to collect the new tax until further orders in this regard.However, new tax coated with sugar, has been collected by the tax collectors of the Revenue Dept;They become the sole assessors of the taxes(perhaps as advised by their higher- ups), offering an instant rebate over the new tax.They offer 10% discount on the new tax and urge the property owners to accept the revised tax by them and pay the amount immdiately.It is gross violation of the Madras HC order that must note the same.This tricky, unhealthy trend in the Municipal corporation of the Greater Chennai will lead to corruptions further and should be arrested by all means, immediately.The Madras HC should intervene in this matter without any delay.
