After many premature announcements, Mysore City Corporation has finally printed the requisite challans for payment of property tax at branches of State Bank of Mysore, Syndicate Bank and Vijaya Bank. These challans are available at the various zonal offices of MCC as well as the bank branches from 25-4-12.
These challans enable property owners in Mysore to pay the property tax at the above banks and avoid the heavy rush at the zonal offices. According to Sec. 109A of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, the property tax for 2012-13 need not be calculated afresh. It is the same as the tax for 2011-12. So the property owners can fill in the challans in the same manner as last year and pay the amount at the above banks either by cash or by cheques drawn on the same branch.
The bank will keep two portions of the 4-part challan and will give the other two portions (one for you and one for MCC) to you. These challan portions and the property tax forms should be submitted to the MCC zonal offices for endorsement. You have one month to do so without being levied a fine (of Rs. 100). It can be done in May when there is little rush at the MCC offices.
MCC signed in 2008 itself the agreement to provide the facility of property tax payment at the above banks. But for the last four years, it had neglected to check if the facility was working. The present Revenue Officer of MCC is to be congratulated for having taken interest in the matter and making the system work finally.
