Pramod Madhwaraj, Udupi MLA and parliamentary secretary to the revenue minister, who attended a review meeting of revenue officials of the district here on Saturday said that land records should be made up to date.

Mr Madhwaraj fixed deadline for officials to clear files related to issuance of Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crop Inspection (RTC) or pahani, corrections in RTC and other works related to land records. He also warned officials of filing criminal cases if files are found missing in the department.

"No files related to correction in RTC should be pending for more than six months. There are 978 cases related to correction in RTC pertaining to government land in Dakshina Kannada district. There are 2,499 cases related to correction in RTC pertaining to non-government land," he said.

Under the Urban Property Ownership Records (UPOR) project, the process of survey and measurement has been completed in 1,43,387 properties in the city. UPOR cards have been distributed to 15,500 property owners in the city. Officials have informed that there is a shortage of surveyors and inquiry officers in the revenue department. Hence, the process of survey under UPOR is being delayed, he said, adding that the matter will be discussed with revenue minister V Srinivas Prasad.

On regularization of encroached government land, Pramod said the revenue department has received a total of 56,000 applications under 94C from rural areas in the district.

Meanwhile, 4,036 applications are pending under 94CC scheme in Mangaluru city limits, he said.

New Delhi, May 9: The Finance Ministry on Friday announced relief to those who have been facing difficulty with their residency status in India under section 6 of the Income-tax Act due to lockdown and suspension of international flights owing to COIVD-19 outbreak, as they have had to prolong their stay in India.

According to a Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) release, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today allowed discounting of prolonged stay period in India for the purpose of determining residency status after considering various representations received from people who had to prolong their stay in India due to lockdown and suspension of international flights.

They expressed concern that they will be required to file tax returns as Indian residents and not as NRIs after 120 days of stay.

The Finance Ministry stated that the lockdown continues during the financial year 2020-21 and it is not yet clear when international flight operations would resume, a circular excluding the period of stay of these individuals up to the date of resumption of international flight operations shall be issued for determination of the residential status for the financial year 2020-21.

A circular also said that in order to avoid genuine hardship in such cases, the CBDT has decided that for the purposes of determining the residential status under section 6 of the Act during the previous year 2019-20 in respect of an individual who has come to India on a visit before March 22, 2020 and:

(a) has been unable to leave India on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay in India from March 22, 2020 to March 31, 2020 shall not be taken into account; or

(b) has been quarantined in India on account of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) on or after March 1, 2020 and has departed on an evacuation flight on or before March 31, 2020 or has been unable to leave India on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay from the beginning of his quarantine to his date of departure or March 31, 2020, as the case may be, shall not be taken into account; or

(c) has departed on an evacuation flight on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay in India from March 22, 2020 to his date of departure shall not be taken into account."

The release said there are number of individuals who had come on a visit to India during the previous year 2019-20 for a particular duration and intended to leave India before the end of the previous year for maintaining their status as non-resident or not ordinary resident in India.

"However, due to declaration of the lockdown and suspension of international flights owing to outbreak of COVID-19, they are required to prolong their stay in India. The status of an individual whether he is resident in India or a non-resident or not ordinarily resident, is dependent, inter-alia, on the period for which the person is in India during a year," it said.

"Yediyurappa also directed ministers in-charge of the districts to remain in their constituency and visit the affected areas to assess damage caused by the rains and flash floods for compensation and relief aid," noted the official.

The Chief Minister on Wednesday announced Rs 50 crore for rescue and relief operations in the affected districts across the state.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological department has issued a red alert on heavy rains in the affected districts of Kodagu, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttar Kannada in the coastal region and in Shivamoga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan and Haveri in the Malnad region.
