Chandigarh MC collects record property tax during 2-month rebate period
1 2 Chandigarh: The Chandigarh municipal corporation has achieved an unprecedented property tax collection of approximately Rs 60 crore during April and May rebate period. Citizens submitted payments via e-Sampark Centres and banks, with e-Sampark Centres, which operated until 8pm on Saturday, receiving the majority of payments. The final figures might increase slightly, but this collection marks the highest amount ever received during a two-month rebate period. The detailed breakdown of residential and commercial property tax collections will be published on Monday after data compilation. Sources indicate that whilst commercial properties contributed the larger share of the amount, residential property owners represented the highest number of taxpayers. "As the rates of commercial property tax are substantially higher than the residential properties, the collected amount of commercial property tax is relatively higher than the residential tax category. On the other hand, the maximum taxpayers fall in the residential taxpayers category," sources in the MC said. Official records indicate that e-Sampark Centres collected approximately Rs 48 crore, whilst banks received around rupees 12 crore. About 65,000 taxpayers participated during April and May, with roughly 51,000 from residential properties and the remainder from commercial establishments. The tax branch officials worked diligently over these two months, encouraging taxpayers to utilise the rebate period. The MC addressed numerous queries from taxpayers who visited their office during this period. The previous year's collection during April and May 2024 was approximately rupees 39 crore, with lower tax rates. Following the Chandigarh administration's decision to double property tax rates in April, the MC anticipates collecting around rupees 70 crore this financial year, excluding arrears. Currently, Chandigarh has 1.42 lakh properties, comprising 1.12 lakh residential and 30,000 commercial properties. The rebate period concluded on May 31, and those who missed the deadline must now pay a 25% penalty on their total property tax amount, plus 12% interest. During the rebate period, residential properties received a 20% rebate, whilst commercial properties received 10%.

Court: Property buyers can't be added as accused in investment fraud case
Mumbai: A special MPID court recently ruled against adding as accused two persons who purchased a property for Rs 2.6 crore from two accused in an investment fraud case involving Cosmo Investment and Athena Investment. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The court held that those whose involvement is not direct in managing the fraudulent financial establishments cannot be added as accused. "Even if the submission that respondent numbers 10 and 11 (purchasers) acted as agents of respondent numbers 1-7 (accused), they cannot be added as accused. Respondent numbers 10 and 11 are not directors of the firms. They are not persons responsible for the business or management of the business. The role of respondent numbers 10 and 11 is only that they paid Rs 2.60 crore out of the consideration amount to 34 investors on the instruction of respondent numbers 1 and 3. Thus, even if they are considered as agents, they cannot be added as accused," Judge N G Shukla said. The plea was filed by one of the investors, Arvind Solanki (67), against the existing accused in the fraud case—Juhu residents Amit Masalia, Prakash Masalia, Dina Masalia, Payal Masalia and Mayank Doshi, Cosmo Investment and Athena Investment, as well as the property purchasers Jitendra Shah and Kirti Shah. Solanki claimed the transaction was fraudulent. Amit, Prakash, Dina, Payal and Doshi were involved in the two firms. They are accused of defrauding 42 investors by failing to return substantial investments along with promised lumpsum benefits and interest. The victims invested around Rs 22.37 crore. A case under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act was filed in 2018. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Names of 15 depositors and their investments were revealed after the chargesheet was filed. During their anticipatory bail proceedings, the accused returned the invested amount to the original complainant and her relatives, leading to the grant of their bail. At that time, a property previously attached by the investigating officer was also released. This property is an office space in Andheri West. Shortly after, Amit and Prakash sold it for Rs 2.75 crore. After an initial payment of Rs 15 lakh, the remaining Rs 2.6 crore was paid directly to 34 investors, victims of the fraud. The advocate representing Solanki argued this property sale was a "mala fide transfer" aimed at circumventing asset attachment under the Act. It was contended the Shahs acted as agents for the original accused and committed fraud by selectively repaying certain investors, some of whom were not named in the original chargesheet. However, advocates representing the Shahs argued they legitimately purchased the property and fulfilled their payment obligations by settling debts with investors as instructed by original sellers.

Dharavi's Factory Owners Anxious About Revamp
Mumbai: Jameelbhai Khan runs a thriving garment business from six factories in the sprawling slum of Dharavi, among the largest in Asia. He has around 15 tailors stitching tops and kurtis for women from designs sourced from malls. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These are sold at the wholesale market in Bandra's Ghas Bazaar at just Rs 200 and find their way into Mumbai's retail shops. His turnover is a stunning Rs 30 lakh per month. Khan is part of Dharavi's booming economic engine. The slum, which is on the cusp of one of the largest urban transformation projects in the world, is home to scores of cottage industries ranging from leather, garments and embroidery to pottery, printing, snacks and scrap recycling. Its leather trade is a hub for corporate gifting—churning out wallets, keychains, passport holders, satchels and pouches. The turnover of Dharavi's trade runs into crores, with products travelling to other states and even overseas. Besides, it generates employment for thousands, mainly migrant workers. Jameelbhai has refused to participate in the survey being conducted to identify those eligible for resettlement in the Dharavi redevelopment project. "They have given us no information on the plan. We do not know what will happen to our factories and if they will have to shift out," he says. The pottery hub of Kumbharwada and 13 compound area, known for scrap recycling, have also opposed the survey. The recently cleared masterplan of Adani-led Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) aims to transform the slum sprawl into a well-connected urban zone by integrating residential, industrial and commercial areas with open spaces. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It estimates that 13,468 industrial and commercial units will need to be constructed within Dharavi free of cost for eligible tenants. The total indicative number of industrial, retail and commercial tenements is 20,000 (the survey is still on). Five tentative industrial clusters have been planned. Yet, there is a wave of anxiety among Dharavi's entrepreneurs about whether their factories and workplaces will be accommodated in the revamp. Through most of Dharavi, living and working spaces co-exist, with families living on the ground floor of the tenement and factories or workshops accommodated on the mezzanine or upper storeys. The crux of their concern is that only ground floor structures which existed till the cut-off date of Jan 1, 2000, will be eligible for rehabilitation in Dharavi free of cost. They are eligible for a 350 sq ft residential space or a 225 sq m commercial space. Typically, owners of upper-floor tenements in slums have been deemed illegal and excluded from slum rehabilitation projects. As an exception, the Dharavi project offers those living in upper floors the choice of 300 sq ft rental housing outside Dharavi in Deonar or the salt pan lands of Kanjurmarg, Mulund or Bhandup. But what about commercial spaces like workshops and factories operating from upper floors? Officials say these will be accommodated in Dharavi itself on the payment of a nominal lease rent with the cutoff date of Nov 2022. There will be no limit on the space they want to take. Those who get the free 225 sq metre space can rent additional space here too. "Ten per cent of the rehab generated has been kept aside for commercial use within Dharavi itself. Those with factories and workshops on mezzanine and upper floors can be accommodated here," said a source linked to the project. But factory owners are worried about rental costs. Also, migrant labourers live and work in the factories and the revamp also raises questions about where they will go. "I own three factories in Dharavi and have around 30 workers living there. I don't pay rent. If I have to start paying rent, then my costs will shoot up. Where will my workers live? Will these commercial spaces accommodate them?" asks Abdulais Shaikh of Sana Leather works which has a turnover of around Rs 20 lakh. Those who rent the upper story of a tenement to set up a factory will remain vulnerable. "A segment of factories here rent space. The owner of the tenement will now claim the upper floors as his own to access rental housing for his family," says Raju Korde from the Dharavi Bachao Andolan which is protesting against the DRP. The Dharavi Bachao Andolan has questioned the data in the ongoing survey which has so far counted 72,000 eligible tenements. "In our estimation, there are around 1 lakh tenements but if you count the upper floors, the number goes up to around 2 lakh. Where will they all go?" asks Korde. The lack of information on what is being planned continues to drive resistance to the project. "We need to be told what is coming and how we will be accommodated. What is the cost of renting these commercial spaces? They should invite our suggestions and objections to the plan. Till then we will oppose the survey," says Jameelbhai Khan.
