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.
Regards

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.

Any plans for the old slabs?
Are there any plans for our old slabs which lying idle for such a long time? It looks od & stinks, Take actions on it please!!
Thanks in advance,
Krishnakumar
Guidance to fill-in the TAX form
- 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”
- 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.
- 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
