While filing our MCD Property tax return for current year 2008-09, we have realised with great pain that MCD is not allowing 30% discount to Women/Sr.Citizens, if the property though residential, is not self-occupied. In other words, if the property is let out to tenants, the above 30% discount is not allowed.
You are aware that where the property is let out to tenants, the property tax is already charged at 200%.
The 30% rebate on tax is allowed to Women/Sr.Citizens as they do not have any other source of income and owing to their incapacity to engage in occupation/work thereby earning income etc. It is therefore, logical to allow this rebate to them irrespective of the fact whether the property is self-occupied or let out to tenants.
How can the MCD penalise them TWICE by charging 100% loading on tax for tenanted property and also by withdrawing the tax rebate of 30% to which they are legitimately entitled to. Some one should take note of it and take up the matter seriously with MCD Standing Committee Chairman Mr. Vijendra Gupta. Was this information helpful? |
