The Commissioner of Mysore City Corporation has issued large
advertisements in today's local newspapers exhorting the citizens of
Mysore to pay their property tax before 30-4-12 and avail of a 5%
rebate.

But the text of the advertisement says "ಮೈಸೂರು ಮಹಾನಗರಪಾಲಿಕೆಯ ವಲಯ ಕಛೇರಿ -೦೬ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ಆಸ್ತಿ ಮಾಲೀಕರುಗಳಿಗೆ ೨೦೧೨-೧೩ ನೇ ಪ್ರಸಕ್ತ ಸಾಲಿನ ಆಸ್ತಿ ತೆರಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ದಿನಾಂಕ ೩೦-೦೪-೨೦೧೨ರೊಳಗೆ ಪಾವತಿಸಿ ಶೇಕಡ ೫ ರಷ್ಟು ರಿಯಾಯಿತಿ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವ ಅವಕಾಶವನ್ನು ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ '', i.e., the 5% rebate is
available to residents of ward No. 6 who pay their taxes in April. Does
it not mean that only residents of ward 6 will get this rebate and that
residents of other wards are not eligible for the 5% rebate?! How can
MCC issue such a misleading advertisement at enormous cost (which will
be borne by us, the taxpayers)? Will it clarify this point?
