Mysore City Corporation issued a press statement two weeks ago stating that property tax can be paid at ING Vysya Bank, State Bank of Mysore, Vijaya Bank and Syndicate Bank. It gave the account numbers of MCC at these banks into which the property tax payment could be credited.
MGP checked with these banks and found that none of them accepts property tax payments. State Bank of Mysore, Vijaya Bank and Syndicate Bank did not have the required challans and even though ING Vysya bank had the property tax challans, it did not accept payments at its branches. So one could pay property tax only to ING Vysya representatives at the nine zonal offices of MCC.
MGP wrote to the press that MCC's announcement was misleading. In response, MCC has again issued a press statement on 17-4-12 signed by the Revenue Officer saying that challans have been provided and that property tax can be paid at ING Vysya Bank, State Bank of India, Vijaya Bank and Syndicate Bank (Mysooru Mithra 19-4-12). This statement is again wrong.
In its first press release, MCC referred to ING Vysya Bank, SBM, Vijaya and Syndicate Banks. In the second release, it refers to ING Vysya Bank, SBI, Vijaya and Syndicate Banks. SBM has been replaced by SBI. Is this just a typographical error or has MCC really changed banks?
MGP checked with Zone 4 MCC Office on 19-4-12 and the only challans available are those of ING Vysya Bank. These challans are not accepted at any of the banks and they are only accepted by ING Vysya representatives athe various zonal office.
It is surprising that MCC has again issued a press release without checking the ground reality.
It is also surprising that MCC has printed the name of ING Vysya Bank on its property tax challans. It could have left a blank and the tax payer could have filled in the blank at whichever bank he chose to remit the property tax.
