Armed forces personnel owning a house / Flat if residing in that house/ Flat is exempted from paying house tax under GHMC Malkajgiri (RR Distt). There are cases where the house is either on rent or permanently sold to a civilian for a long time. In the instant case Flat No 405 in Ushodaya Apts SV COLONY, RK PURAM- 500056 was purchased by one Major (Indian Army). He was exempted from paying house tax. In the year 2006 the flat was sold to Mrs Meenakshi, a civilian duly registered at the Sub-Registrar office at Malkajgiri. But neither the Sub-Registrar informed GHMC of the transfer of the property to a civilian nor the present owner informed of the transfer to GHMC, Malkajgiri officially. GHMC Malkajgiri with its field officer, namely Mrs Manjulata, in collusion did not update the status of the Flat and is extending exemption to the civilian owner in the name of Major Radha Krishna, the previous owner.
I have brought this case to the notice of the field officer, her superior section officer, the manager and the Dy Chairman GHMC, Malkajgiri. I fact as per the rule in vogue houses / flats not resided by the respective owners are not also eligible for exemption. The field officers are well aware of the status of such houses / Flats in their domain. They are in direct collusion and taking their cut.
My complaint to Dy Chaiman GHMC has remained unactioned as on today.
I hereby draw the attention of the Chairman GHMC to take the necessary disciplinary action against the errand officials.
I also draw attention to the IG registration to advice Sub-registrars to intimate change of ownerships of such properties to the concerned office of GHMC so that they are compelled to update their records on exemption of house taxes etc.
