Corridors are being littered with Garbages

There has been repeated incident of the waste ( Polythene bags ) being left in the corridors instead of disposing them in the dustbin provided at the basement(parking lot). I would request all the inhabitants to give strict insrtuction to the respective servernt maids to throw the waste into the pit provided instead of leaving it near the lift or corridor.It is also observed that the lift is being used to carry the garbage by the maids, This causes sometimes garbage and water beingn spilled in the lift. I would welcome any solution or suggestions to solve this problem.
Please co-operate and help in keeping the apartment neat and clean.

valuable info

'Address proof card'

 

Many working peoples often shift their houses. For them, it is difficult to

produce an address proof issued by Govt with latest address.

 

Our India post (post office) has come up with a solution.

 

Now you can get an Address proof along with your photo from India post.

Since the ID proof is issued by India post which is a central government

organization, it is similar to Govt ID cards like Driving license, Voters

ID etc. It can be used for opening bank accounts, for getting

telephone/internet connections etc.

 

The total cost for getting this ID card is Rs.250/ (Rs.10 for application

and Rs.240/- processing fee).

 

Inform everybody. This is very useful

 

For more details enquire in the nearest post office.

BBMP Property Tax Self Assesment Scheme 2009

Property Tax SAS 2009 for Property Owners

BBMP Bangalore comes with innovative ideas for easy and safe payment of tax. BBMP started collecting property tax from February 10 and the property owner can pay their tax through Citizens' service center. It is estimated that government can keep track on the tax collected as BBMP organized one center for 4000 property and property owner can get information from BBMP on property tax collecting center from helpline that operates daily from 11 am to 2:30 pm.

BBMP has come with training session for property owners' to get clear idea on calculation of tax. Currently BBMP collects property tax from Citizens' service center for the year 2008-09. The property holders having arrears can contact zonal joint or additional commissioner for further proceeding. BBMP has advised property owner to calculate property tax on Unit Area Value (UAV) and not on the basis of Annual Rateable Value (ARV) which were previously calculated.

ARV is calculated based on expected rent from the property for the owner and UAV is method similar to optional SAS method in year 2000. UAV is calculated on the basis of expected returns and calculated on per square foot per month i.e., Unit, and value changes depending on particular location or street i.e., Area and the rate is multiplied which is Value. Therefore this method is known as UAV method.

Huge fine system for wasting water due to tap opened

This particular item is there in existence from the beginning. All ofus agree that this is one of the main culprit in our water problem. Ihave seen many early communication mentioning Rs. 1000/- fine etc..

However, till now we have not identified a process on how to implementit. There is no monitoring mechanism (manual, mechanical or automatic)that now tells us that , yes a tap is left opened and water is beingwasted. You can't expect the flat owner to volunteer out thisinformation with the fine amount.

We need to think for a new and innovative process through which we cando some tracking.To be frank, I also don't have any suggestions as of now, but justwanted to highlight this item, so that it is in our scope.

I am also not fully convinced on the water meter solution, as thatmoney being spent (for tracking purpose here) can be utilised forother things like deepening our bore well or any other long termsolution.
