GURUGRAM: Over the previous week, MCG sealed the gates of two residential societies in Sector 69, after some citizens of these societies defaulted on their belongings tax payments. According to citizens of the two societies — Tulip Purple and Tulip Violet — on Thursday remaining, MCG officers sealed the exit gate for Tulip Violet and partially sealed the entry gate of Tulip Purple.
"The gates were sealed last Thursday for non-payment of property taxes. They have remained sealed since then. We spoke to the developer, who has assured to take up the matter with MCG officials on Monday," mentioned Tulip Purple RWA president S L Agarwal.
Property taxes are supposed to be paid by means of person citizens. However, there seemed to be some confusion amongst citizens of the two societies at the topic, as they mentioned the dues have been pending with the developer.
Others, however, mentioned that over the past 12 months, they've didn't pay their belongings taxes each time they attempted to, as they might no longer generate IDs at the MCG portal.
"As a resident, we are expected to pay property taxes. But when I tried doing so last year, I couldn't generate an ID on the MCG portal, as some details that the developer should have independently submitted with MCG were missing," mentioned Manish, a resident of Tulip Violet.
Residents also mentioned they haven't gained notices requesting payment of belongings taxes, so this kind of stringent step for a first offence seemed harsh. The mentioned despite the fact that the entry wasn't entirely restricted, they might face hassle in instances of emergency.
The developer, Tulip Infrastructure Private Limited, mentioned they've submitted all vital main points to MCG from their finish.
They also mentioned they've approached the company at the issue already and will attempt to get to the bottom of it the first thing on Monday.
"Some residents have defaulted on paying property tax, but it's unfair for MCG to trouble all residents in the two societies. The sealed gates could be dangerous in the event of a fire or medical emergency," mentioned Tulip MD Praveen Jain. He added the pending amount must be round Rs eight lakh.
The MCG joint commissioner for the area, Gaurav Antil, mentioned, "As per records, the taxes have to be borne by the developer as he is yet submit the details of people who bought the flats. He added this is also the reason why residents aren't able to generate their IDs — their data is still not available with the corporation, so they are not able to pay their property taxes."
