Tax exemption for ex-servicemen
Families of retired ex-servicemen will be entitled to further exemptions added to the prevailing ones as the State government has decided to waive 50 per cent of the property tax for their houses or land.
According to the Karnataka Municipalities and?Certain Other?Law (Amendment)?Act, 2011, an ex-serviceman is defined as a person who has served in the regular Army, Navy and Air Force of the Union, at any rank.
He or she may also be a person who has served in Defence Security Corps, the General Reserve Engineering Force, the Lok Sahayak Sena and Paramilitary forces. The family of the deceased ex-serviceman can include the father, mother, a surviving spouse and dependent children.
Apart from that, he/she has to be a permanent resident of the State – a fact that should be verifiable by the Sainik Welfare?Board. By taking steps to implement the rule, the State joins Maharashtra where several municipal corporations, such as Thane and Navi Mumbai, have already been providing tax relief for ex-servicemen.
