Online tax payment in Chennai begins

Comments(6) Sub Category:Chennai,Cities,Civic Issues,Property Tax Posted On: Jan 02, 2013

Chennai- On December 31 2012, Chennai Corporation has declared the facility of online tax payment. Now the residents of Sholinganallur, Perungudi , Valasaravakkam , Alandur and other 15 newly extended zones can pay their taxes online.

The database of Chennai corporation has also been updated. Now many residents living in other parts of the country and NRIs who own properties in Chennai can take advantage of this facility from home or from any internet enabled device.

Currently this facility is utilized by approximately 10 per cent of the assessees. After the expansion of the city limits, the number of assessees have increased from 6.62 lakh to 10.71 lakh.

To pay tax online for properties in Chennai, one has to log on to the official page of Chennai Coproration (www.chennaicorporation.gov.in) and click on ‘property tax payments’. Further enter other details like zone number, division number, bill number and sub number from any part of the world. Moreover the receipt can also be printed and utilized in  income tax returns.

Although there are 2,000 bank counters in the city for walk-in payment of property tax but  the number of assessees who fail to pay tax on time has increased. This online mode of payment will assist in collecting Rs.484 crore till March 31, 2013. So far only Rs.210 crore has been collected.
