KMC focuses on height of buildings in flight path

Kolkata: In the wake of the Ahmedabad tragedy, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) buildings department has alerted the executive engineers in the boroughs to strictly adhere to the building height guidelines sent by Airports Authority of India (AAI).
The AAI issues guidelines to KMC regarding building height restrictions around airports to ensure flight safety. These guidelines are based on the AAI's colour coded zoning maps (CCZM) and dictate permissible building heights within specific zones. Construction exceeding the permissible heights requires an NoC from AAI.
According to a buildings department official, maximum vigilance will be maintained in the Cossipore-Dum Dum belt, which is closer to Kolkata airport, and the areas near Behala flying club.
According to a modified building rule, the KMC executive engineers need to carefully pass even a G+1 building in the Cossipore-Dum Dum belt due to its proximity to the airport. As far as sanctioning plans in other city areas is concerned, KMC has asked the borough executive engineers to follow the CCZM and, in case of any doubt, refer the matter to seniors at the civic headquarters.
"In most cases, we need to keep a check on G+4, G+5, and G+6 buildings located within the specified 20-km radius.

Any building crossing the approved height limit will require special sanction from us. We will take a decision in coordination with AAI," a civic official said.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations) Rules, 2015, no construction or plantation activity is permitted within a 20-km radius of an airport's Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP) without clearance from authorities concerned.
Builders, developers, and individual property owners must secure a mandatory NoC before undertaking any such activity. The NoC, once issued, remains valid for eight years and can be extended for a maximum of 12 years.

ITR filing FY 2024-25: Do you need to file your income tax return if TDS has been deducted? Explained
Tax Deducted at Source or TDS is the tax that is deducted before making a payment to the recipient. (AI image) ITR filing FY 2024-25: It's that time of the year when every taxpayer gets together documents to file their income tax return. This year the last date of file the income tax return has been extended from July 31 to September 15, 2025. One common query in the minds of taxpayers is - if TDS or Tax Deducted At Source has been cut, is there a need to file the income tax return? The clear answer to that is - yes, it is necessary for you to file your ITR. Tax Deducted at Source or TDS is the tax that is deducted before making a payment to the recipient. The government collects a specified percentage of tax directly from various income sources such as salary, interest earnings or rental payments. The tax amount is withheld before the recipient receives the payment, and the deducted sum is subsequently transferred to the government.

Top things salaried taxpayers shouldn't miss Amarpal Chadha, Tax Partner, EY India elaborates, 'Many taxpayers believe that if TDS has already been deducted from their income, or if their employer has issued a Form 16, their compliance obligations are complete and filing an Income Tax Return is not required. However, this is a common misconception.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Pelajari Undo 'TDS, Form 16, or Form 26AS do not confirm that the overall tax liability has been correctly computed and discharged. TDS is often deducted at a prescribed rate, which may not match the actual tax liability. Moreover, it does not exempt an individual from the obligation to file an ITR,' Amarpal Chadha tells TOI. Also Read | ITR Filing FY 2024-25: Have you got an Income Tax notice? Don't ignore it! Top types of tax notices & actions required The most important thing to understand here is that filing an ITR is mandatory if one's total income, before claiming certain deductions or exemptions, exceeds the basic exemption limit, or if specific conditions under the Income Tax Act are met, like having foreign income or assets, or have undertaken high-value transactions (like expense towards foreign travel, deposits into savings account exceeding a specified amount, etc). 'Additionally, the law also mandates filing of income tax return if the aggregate of TDS and tax collected at source exceeds the specified limit,' he says. 'It is also essential to file an ITR in cases where one is seeking a refund of excess TDS, intends to carry forward losses, etc,' Chadha concludes.

A nodal department to help ex-agniveers find jobs, study, upskill
The central government has given the state department in the home ministry the responsibility of coordinating support for ex-agniveers—youth who complete their four-year service under the Agnipath military scheme, a statement said on Tuesday. The decision, notified through an amendment to the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, makes the department responsible for ensuring ex-agniveers get structured help in finding employment, pursuing education, or acquiring new skills to transition into civilian life. Since the scheme was launched in 2022, around 46,000 young people have been recruited each year into the army, navy, and the air force. They serve for four years, after which only 25% are retained. The rest must return to civilian life. While several ministries have offered training, recruitment drives, or skilling programmes, there was no single department in charge of tying all these efforts together. 'With this change, the department of states will now work with state governments, private companies, and other ministries to ensure that ex-agniveers are not left on their own,' said a government official. It will also help bring better coordination and faster delivery of benefits, especially as the first batch of agniveers is due to complete service later this year, this official said on the condition of anonymity. 'The ministry has already informed industry bodies in a recent meeting. It wants to ensure ex-agniveers are smoothly guided into jobs or education,' the official added. The Agnipath scheme had faced criticism over job uncertainty for those not selected for permanent roles. This new step is expected to ease those concerns and shows the government is getting serious about the next phase of the scheme.
