Chicalim p'yat to reassess homes to revise tax rate
Vasco: The gram sabha of the Chicalim panchayat on Sunday resolved to reassess houses within its jurisdiction. Chicalim sarpanch Kamla Prasad Yadav said that the move would help generate revenue.
“The panchayat imposed the house tax 25-30 years ago and was collecting it as stipulated by the old rates,” Yadav said. “A majority of the houses in our jurisdiction have expanded their premises but have been paying taxes as governed by the old rates.”
Yadav said, “The reassessment would help us generate additional revenue, making the financial position of the panchayat stronger.”
In yet another resolution, gram sabha decided to remove all the handcarts and gaddas operating illegally in the vicinity of the Vishal Mega Mart complex at Dabolim .
The gram sabha has also resolved to set up an old age home at Chicalim. Chicalim panchayat has bagged the first place in the Best Environmental Practices Competition for local bodies under the UN Environment Programme’s theme of ‘Ending Plastic Pollution Globally’. This was noted in the panchayat’s congratulatory motion.
