Queries regarding House tax

Recently, MCG has launched a dedicated service for all property owners who have doubts regarding house tax dues. Now if you have any query regarding house tax, so you can email on contact@mcg.gov.in which is the dedicated email id of MCG, so that all property owners can clear doubts regarding house tax dues and fix appointments to meet senior officials. According to officials of MCG, a separate counter for senior citizens has also been set up at the MCG office.

Vivek Kalia, Joint commissioner of MCG, stated that the move comes in existence when some junior staff members were caught demanding bribes from people who had come to the office to pay house or property tax. The more he added that “In past 48 hours we have caught four junior officers like attendants, peons and clerks were found demanding money from residents who came to pay property tax or collect birth and death certificates.” Vivek said all of the employees who were demanding bribes have been suspended and police complaints have been filed against them.

Why email id?

According to officials of MCG, “We have started the email id so that residents and other people can seek clarification regarding tax notices as well as they will be able to attach the necessary documents and we will answer doubts on the email itself. In special cases people will be free to provide us phone numbers and we’ll call them and fix an appointment so that they can come and meet us directly, instead of getting harassed by junior staff”.

However, some of the officials said, it is interim step and harassment would only stop when the civic agency starts an online payment system on its website to pay the property tax and submit fee to obtain other documents.
