Last year we paid Tax for New PID No 086-W0242-23 vide Corporation Bank Cheque No 149126 on 28 Apr 14 for Rs 27,950/- This Tax Assessment was carried out by Tax Colletor Mr Narayanswamy a few years back deliberately including the premises as applicable for Commericial and Commercial Residential. This year, the PID No was not accepting tax online so my brother went to Marathalli Tax Office where one Mr Muthuraj wrote the amount of Rs 27,950/- then refused to accept the payment stating that the assessment is not correct and it would be Rs 40,000 plus. If this is the case, let him issue a fresh tax assessment, we have no issues paying legitimate taxes due.
When asked for details he refused to given any details nor accept the cheque.
A responsible officer of the Govt should either give the accurate tax amount to be collected, OR he can accept the Tax amount based on historical data and issue a fresh notice for a revised tax. Why this harrasment ? Firstly the Online System does not accept the New PID and now the Tax Officer doesnt want to take the money, well, I suppose that is India today.
If a revenue officer doesnt accept the tax amount, backed by historical payments, then, his aim is harassment and you are requested to kindly advise the officer to accept the tax like a normal decent govt officer instead of adopting spurious means to extract his cut for accepting tax. |
