Property tax notices issued despite GMC repeal, councillors stage protest
The hiked property tax came into effect on April 1.
GMC officials, meanwhile, said the process of issuing notices is "system-generated". "If anyone has deposited a hiked property tax, it will be adjusted to older tax slabs," the GMC officials said. But the protesters are not convinced.
Councillor Manoj Goyal said, "The GMC board, which met on June 30, unanimously called for bringing the existing property tax — which was applicable before April — and the board passed the proposal, which meant GMC would not collect hiked property tax and would not issue notices to residents.
However, the corporation has been issuing notices, which is a violation of the municipal act."

Protesters said they have been demanding minutes of the board meeting from officials whom they met on "at least three occasions" and each time they were denied.
Councillor Neeraj Goyal said, "As a rule, we have the right to the minutes of the meeting and we are demanding whether the board's proposal has been complied with or not.

There is something missing due to which the officials are not sharing details. Every mayor has asked residents not to deposit property tax at hiked rates, but even then, notices are being issued, which undermines the very office of elected representatives.
"
Meanwhile, GMC officials said there is another issue involved — a case has been filed in Allahabad high court against GMC's decision to impose an increased property tax and the court's decision is pending.
"We are awaiting the court's decision and only after that can the system-generated billing system be updated as per old tax slab rates," a GMC official said.
The property tax rates before April 1 were between Rs 0.32/sq foot on properties with less than 12m of road width, Rs 0.48 to Rs 2 for roads 12–24 metres wide and Rs 0.65 to Rs 2.41 for wider roads. The revised rate is between Rs 0.75/sq foot to Rs 4/sq foot. In March, the board passed the proposal to link tax with the DM circle rate. GMC calculates tax based on the annual rental value (ARV) of a property.

Sambhajinagar police nabinvestment scam ringleader
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: In a major breakthrough in the several crore LFS investment fraud, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the city police arrested Dilipkumar Maiti, director of LFS Share Broking Company, from Kolkata on Friday. The arrest is linked to a pan-India scam where over 6,000 investors were defrauded with false promises of high returns. According to the police, the company lured investors by offering returns ranging from 20% to 36% and swindled them out of over Rs 1,000 crore. Maiti, previously in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for separate financial offences, was handed over to city police on July 17 and was remanded in their custody till July 22. In Maharashtra, the scam caused a loss of Rs 35 crore, including Rs 3 crore from city-based investors. The city police registered a case in Feb this year, acting on a complaint filed by investors who were duped by company agents Vinod Mane and Vinod Salve. The EOW previously arrested another company director, Syed Ziajur Rehman, in connection with the case. Police authorities said, "The EOW will seek formal approval to seize and auction properties owned by the accused outside Maharashtra. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo We identified 16 properties linked to Maiti and co-accused Anarul Hussaini.

Authorities have so far traced 63 properties, including hotels, resorts, land parcels, flats, and even a property outside the country. A total of 118 bank accounts have also been attached.

Waive off dues accruing out of CAPF deployment: CM to Shah
Ranchi: Chief minister Hemant Soren on Friday urged Union home minister Amit Shah waive off Centre's dues, amounting to Rs 13,299.69 crore, which has accumulated in lieu of deployment of Central Reserve Police Force ( CRPF ) in Jharkhand for anti-extremist operations over the years. Notably, the centre has asked the state to pay the amount which has accrued since CRPF was deployed by centre for the operations in Jharkhand. A statement issued by the state information and public relations department late on Friday night said, "The CM in his letter urged the dues to be waived off as its payment would cause a financial burden on limited resources of the state and would affect implementation of development schemes." At present, 14 battalions of central paramilitary forces including nine of CRPF, two of CoBRA and three of Seema Suraksha Bal are deployed in anti-extremist operations in Jharkhand. The development comes after Shah chaired a meeting of the Eastern Zonal Council in Ranchi earlier this month and declared the Jharkhand, along with several other of its neighbouring states, had become largely free of Naxalism. Soren said the state govt is tackling disasters and implementing social welfare schemes successfully after the Covid-19 pandemic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Jharkhand has been one of the states to be affected the most by left wing extremism and eradicating it from its roots is a shared responsibility of the Centre and state," he was quoted as mentioning in his letter. Soren further said that the state police, along with CRPF deployed by Centre, is carrying out anti-extremist operations. Their activities have significantly reduced, and 400 police personnel were killed in the operations. "In such a backdrop, necessary steps should be taken under the principle of cooperative federalism to waive off the retention charges for deployment of central armed police force to carry out anti-extremist operations," the CM wrote.
