M. Krishna Chaitanya is a working professional who bought his dream house in a gated community about two years ago. The project got occupancy certificate by the time of registration, and the property tax identification number (PTIN) was generated at the time of mutation itself by the sub-registrar’s office as per the rules.
Mr. Chaitanya, however, was oblivious to the PTIN generation, nor was he informed about the same by the registration department officials.
A month after registration, he happened to learn about the process of self assessment for property tax through some of his neighbours and approached the Mee Seva centre for the same. The Mee Seva executive entered his flat number in the column allotted for the door number, and generated another PTIN on the same flat, after charging Krishna Chaitanya the tax amount.
