Revenue officials under scanner for misuse of public money in Chennai
Serious flouting of responsibilities of public officials came out in the open in inquiries carried out by Corporation of Chennai.
Inquiries have shown that in several cases, assistant revenue officers in the zonal levels do not deposit property tax cheques on time. As a result, residents are fined for late payment.
Top Corporation officials suspect that many of the residents had submitted their payment on time and yet might have had to pay late fine.
The corporation has decided to issue strict instructions to revenue officers and are planning to come up with software in which a resident’s name and property tax number is entered every time a cheque is deposited.
