Ludhiana: The municipal corporation has served notice on Sacred Heart Convent School in Sarabha Nagar on Thursday for filing wrong property tax return. The MC has imposed 100% penalty on the property tax amount.
The action has been taken after a complaint was filed by city-based activist Rohit Sabharwal and he had requested the civic body officials to check the property tax record of the school while alleging that the school authorities were showing their school land as rented property, whereas the land for this school had been allotted by Ludhiana Improvement Trust in 1965.
The civic body officials in the notice mentioned that the school authorities did not file the property tax properly. They estimated that Rs 57.59 lakh tax was still standing as balance and they imposed 100% penalty on this amount and the school authorities were told to pay Rs 1.15 crore to the civic body, otherwise action would be taken against them.
Ludhiana: While giving the excuse of shortage of staff, building branch officials have refused to match the records of new power connections with the building plans approved by them in the past few years. Additional commissioner Rishipal Singh had asked assistant town planners of all four branches to give details against how many defaulters they took action who had not got approval for the building plans.
While replying to the letter, assistant town planners refused handling this job and rather advised the authorities concerned to get it done by a private firm. All this information has been revealed under an RTI query.
