Mangaluru, Jul 31: There are 7,444 “unlawfully” constructed buildings under the jurisdiction of Mangaluru City Corporation and they pay double property tax, according to MCC Commissioner Mohammed Nazir, Commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation.

Replying to questions on the civic body stopping issuing temporary door numbers to buildings under Section 112 C (levy of penalty on unlawful building) of Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act 1976 at the monthly meeting of the council here on Monday, he said that it was a temporary measure.

“Owners have been found to have constructed houses and buildings violating the floor area ratio (FAR), set back and zonal regulations in many cases. Under Section 112 (C), the people were given temporary door numbers by collecting double property tax. Buildings, for which the owners have not obtained completion certificate from the Corporation, are given temporary door numbers. There are 7,444 properties that pay double tax in the MCC jurisdiction,” the commissioner said.

They get their permanent door numbers only after correcting all the deviations in construction.

But taking undue advantage of the section many have begun constructing buildings “unlawfully”. Many thought that they could get away by getting temporary door numbers. It was actually misusing a provision in the Act. Hence, the civic body has stopped issuing temporary door numbers to prevent mushrooming of such buildings in the, he said.

Budget shocker: Modi govt proposes tax on non-taxpaying NRIs

News Network

February 1,2020

New Delhi, Feb 1: The budget is a little more demanding of the non-resident Indian. Firstly, to be categorized a non-resident, an Indian now has to stay abroad for 240 days, against 182 previously. In other words, an Indian national, to claim the non-resident status, can’t stay in India for 120 days or more in a year.

“We've made changes in Income Tax Act where if an Indian citizen stays out of the country for more than 182 days, he becomes non-resident,” said Revenue Secy Ajay Bhushan Pandey. “Now in order to become non-resident, he has to stay out of the country for 240 days.”

The second rule is more deadly: a non-resident Indian, who is not taxed in the foreign country, will become taxable in India.

“If any Indian citizen is not a resident of any country in the world, he'll be deemed to be a resident of India and his worldwide income will be taxed,” said Pandey.

"It's a very big disadvantage for Indians residing overseas only to save on tax," said Dinesh Kanabar of Dhruva Advisors. He expects that many Indians stay abroad in countries, where the income tax is low or nil such as Dubai. Now they will be taxed in India if they are in the income tax bracket.

For Indians, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman revised income tax rats and proposed new tax slabs.

The new income tax rates will, however, not allow exemptions under Section 80C. Home loan exemption, insurance exemptions, the standard deduction will also not stay under the regime.

"The new tax regime will be optional and the taxpayers will be given the choice to either remain in the old regime with exemptions and deductions or opt for the new reduced tax rate without those exemptions," Sitharaman said while unveiling Budget.
