Dear Mr. D R Prakash: I am impressed with the time you provide for all the complaints and console the citizens with your well formed words. I had registered a complaint to the SAS Department (Property Tax Department) about my neighbour who is continuing to evade tax as well has constructed an illegal floor without prior approval from the Building Plan Authority, which is also blocking the view from our property. Please see details of the complaint as addressed to the SAS Department with the mail IDs, most of which bounced back, which also mean they are not functional or not looked into (To: bbmpsas@bbmp.gov.in Cc: comm@bbmp.gov.in, advcommv@bbmp.gov.in, achrd@bbmp.gov.in, hrd@bbmp.gov.in) Dear Sir/Madam: This is to bring it to your notice that one of my neighbours has not been paying the property tax accurately to the Government. This premises also has an illegally constructed top floor which generates handsome Rent. There is no prior plan approval from your Plan Approval Authority for this floor which is also an obstruction for us. The owner of this premises is enjoying all benefits by defaulting/evading property tax to the Government as well as enjoying rent from 2 floors which includes one illegal floor. The total rented property would be approximately 1500 square feet. The approximate rent generated from rented property would be around 18,000 (Eighteen thousand) to 20,000 (Twenty thousand), whereas they have been defaulting/evading property tax by paying a meager amount of Rs. 5000 and Rs 4000 respectively for the last 2 years, mentioning that they are using it for their own use. This can be verified on your BBMP website. This building, as far as my knowledge goes, was constructed in the year 2006-07 and the defaulting/tax evasion has been happenning for more than 5 years now. PID Number of this property is 54-170-175 As a prompt citizen and a frustrated neighbour, I request you to kindly look into this complaint and take all necessary action against these tax evaders which is affecting our overall economy and bringing down the funds within the Government treasury, thus affecting the growth of our city as promised by Government representatives and as expected by common citizens. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and also let me know if I have to address this issue to any other department/e-mail ID with their address. Expecting you to act on this issue at the earliest. Eager to see the BBMP Property Tax /SAS Department in action. Yours Sincerely, SB There has be no response and no receipt of this mail. I have also not seen any action from the concerned department in this regard. Please let me know if you can be of any help in this regard. Thanking you, SB
