Guidance to fill-in the TAX form

1. To find the PID: click here and note down the last 8 characters, for example my Flat’s PID number is “83-54-105/1-5”, so my property No would be “105/1-5”; Please note our apartment Property No is “105/1”
   
2. To find your last year TAX calculation: Click here and choose the second option, Give “83” as our ward number and give your new municipal number in the second textbox, its “105/1-5” for my flat.
   
3. A new page would open, click on Kagadaspura and you will get to know your calculations which you have paid last year.

Application number is unique and same would be your receipt number, so please do not take photocopies. Call 09000567541 for more help.

Water Problem....

Fixing a water meter is a good idea, but I don’t know how far it is suitable for our pipeline design because as per my knowledge there are couple of backbone for each verticals and obviously this is correct architecture too because supplying water for all outlets for a flat from a single backbone results slow water flow, If it would have been a single valve per flat architecture, then we could think of it. Now we need to pump-in huge money to set it up, say 500 - 1000 bucks per flat.

Moreover it’s a kind of reactive measure and would create problems every day, meaning indirectly we are saying “We don’t care about the water consumption if the cost for excess usage is collected” - is not appreciable.

As Karthik said “Leaks can easily be identified” would be the only advantage. I would say “finding a water consumption baseline per flat” would be the starting point for inviting problems (or) initiating micro level management (or) increasing complication on our system. Eventually this is not going to work out (or) solve any of our water problems permanently, so spending time, money and efforts towards fixing the water meter is worthless at this point of time is my personal opinion.

Instead,

1. Fixing individual valves per flat even it is 2 or more backbones
2. Water available time (2 hours in the morning & in the evening)
3. Huge fine system for wasting water
4. Educating flat owners about the situation
5. Educating tenants about how to open the tap and close it.
6. Increasing Maintenance atlast if no other way to go

could help us to fix this problem permanently

Water Problem !!!

Dear Kethanites,

Ø On an average we are buying 7 water tankers on a daily basis.
Ø Each load of tanker is approximately 4500 - 5000 lts.
Ø Total Amount of Water bought in a day is +35000 lts.
Ø The Rate of Water consumption per day by each flat if calculated looks like this: -
Ø 35000 lts. / 67 flats (Block A & B) = 500 lts. Per flat (approx.)
Ø Cost of Water per day is INR 200/- x 7 tanker load = INR 1400/-
Ø Cost of Water per month is INR 42000/- (approx.)

Do Everybody in the Apartment Complex agree that each of us are consuming 500 lts. of water on a daily basis (OR) Is there a missing link in between the Input and Output.
Request everybody to share your thoughts on this and let us know whether we are on the RIGHT-TRACK as we need to do some planning for our future months to come as the shortage of water is started of in a bigger way across the KAGGADASAPURA area itself.
Please pin-up for your ideas / thoughts on this Water Problem either in the BLOG or in the Apartment Notice Board so that everybody can understand the positives and negatives and Arrive at a proper solution acceptable to all the Residents.
Lets Each of us Help Ourselves in the best possible way to Conserve Water and Tide Over the Current Crunching Situation of WATER PROBLEM and make a Better Tomorrow !!!!!!!!!!!!

Bangalore Property Tax Self Assessment and Payment

You can pay the tax this time only at the BBMP help centers. With the BBMP commissioner's final notification out, the property tax collection across the eight zones may begin from February 10. Considering that this is the first year with a uniform SAS (Self Assessment Scheme) , BBMP centers were chosen to reduce the confusion in tax collection. As of now, 70 of the BBMP help centers are functional, the remaining will be functional in a week's time. There will be one help center for every 4,000 properties in the city.

As per the final notification of the commissioner published on January 31, rates have reverted to the SAS 2000 rates for both residential and non-residential properties for all the six zones.
