CM says Karnataka will take up issue of GST notices to small traders with Centre
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the State government will take up with the Centre the issue of small traders getting GST notices from the Commercial Taxes Department for transactions through UPI. He also made it clear that the issue would be discussed with the State Commercial Taxes Department before making a decision in this regard. 'The Goods and Sales Tax (GST) Council comes under the purview of the Centre. However, the State government will take up the matter with the Union government and discuss it with the State's Commercial Taxes Department, and take a decision,' Mr. Siddaramaiah told presspersons in Mysuru. It may be noted that a section of the small and micro traders in the State have taken exception to getting notices with respect to taxes based on their transactions via UPI. Meanwhile, asking the small traders not to worry about the GST-related notices, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar accused the Union government of creating trouble for small traders and street vendors by introducing GST. 'Notices are being issued to those who are conducting business of over ₹40 lakh,' he said in Hoskote, near here, where an event was organised to distribute government benefits. He said: 'This is the achievement of the Union government. The traders do not have to worry. We will take necessary actions to protect their interests.' The Deputy Chief Minister said though the State had appealed to the Centre several times seeking funds over the last two years, the BJP MPs are not speaking. 'They are not concerned about the poor in the State.' Accusing the BJP of not doing enough, he said that the Congress government was committed to getting Yettinahole waters to Bengaluru North district before 2027 and the government had decided to prepare a DPR to bring metro to Hoskote. 'We will ensure it is approved during our term.' Mr. Shivakumar also pointed out that the government had taken steps to regularise B-khata properties in Bengaluru, and that over a crore patta khatas are being given to Scheduled Tribes.

Mysuru civic body's B-khata drive to bring unauthorised properties under tax net
MYSURU : Since launching a B-khata issuance drive in mid-March, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) issued 2,349 B-khatas to unauthorised property owners. The civic body aims to bring all 27,616 such properties under the tax net over the next 16 months. This effort is expected to boost property tax revenue. As state govt has already given clear-cut directions to all urban municipal bodies and owners of unauthorised properties in urban areas outside Bengaluru to secure B-khata, a temporary registration for properties that are not yet fully authorised, MCC has intensified the drive within its limits in the city. The drive, launched by district minister HC Mahadevappa in the first week of March, received an overwhelming response from property owners in the city. Earlier, state govt set a three-month deadline for the regularisation of unauthorised properties like B-khatas by the second week of May. As the progress was slow, state govt extended this deadline by another 16 months. MCC has now received a good response from all its nine zones. MCC identified 27,616 B-khata properties during the survey, in addition to 182,167 A-khatas. It issued 2,349 B-khatas after the launch of the drive in the first week of March. MCC also issued 38,584 A-khatas in authorised layouts out of a total of 182,167 properties by the end of April. As complaints about the role of middlemen and brokers poured in during the khata registration drive, MCC installed CCTV cameras in all its nine zonal offices and stepped up its vigilance to eliminate the role of brokers and middlemen in the process. MCC deputy commissioner (revenue) GS Somashekhar said that the department also replaced officers to facilitate easy registration of A-khatas and B-khatas in all its nine zonal limits. The staff are also visiting door-to-door to verify documents before issuing khatas, he said. MCC commissioner Syed Tanveer Asif said that he is regularly verifying the progress of the issuance of A-khatas and B-khatas achieved by its staff on all working days in all nine zonal offices. He is also verifying the causes of pending cases of people registered online for khata registration. MCC has installed enough computers, xerox machines, and printers to facilitate easy registration of khatas in all its zonal offices, he said. Former mayor M Shivakumar wants govt to relax the rules of demanding property registration copies in revenue layouts in B-khata issuance drive. MCC officials must facilitate the B-khata drive by simplifying the registration process by collecting at least one document, such as proof of payment over the past five years, he said. He said Mysuru city has over 40,000 properties in revenue layouts. Bringing them under the tax net helps both the city civic body and govt in generating revenue, as well as allowing residents of these properties to receive certified temporary property documents from govt.
