Yes Sandeep ..the major problem is of manpower.. The total tax collectors for 426 sq km of the city are less than 250. They have to personally visit each home and commercial developments to collect dues. Few days back, the hand handled machines caused severe problems in tax collection services.

Hi..This online facility is made available for all 15 zones which include nearly 10.71 lakh assessees. And only 10 percent of people are making use of it. Moreover the Chennai revenue department is facing many issues.

They have to do something..because till February end they have collected Rs 351 crore only...and their target is Rs 500 crore. This step to employ town cries will make aware residents of their legal obligations and motivate tax defaulters to pay their tax soon.

Hello..Chennai corporation is trying their best to collect property tax. Like GHMC , they are adopting new ways to collect tax from tax defaulters. They are employing town crier for this purpose.
