KOLKATA: From now on, there will be no unassessed properties in Kolkata. Inspectors in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation’s assessment department have been asked to bring all unassessed properties under the mandatory assessment scheme. These properties include vacant land, buildings and flats that are yet to be assessed.
The move is part of a revenue augmentation drive. KMC assessment department inspectors were asked to prepare a list of unassessed properties and then bring them under the assessment ambit so that the civic body starts receiving property tax from these addresses. Mayor Firhad Hakim on Thursday held a revenue meeting and asked the civic officials to ensure that no major properties are left unassessed. The KMC assessment department will also invite property owners to step forward and apply for self-assessment online.
