Thiruvananthapuram: The revenue wing of the City Corporation which has started data cleaning training in connection with the tax assessment has marked a striking deficiency in the IKM software.
This is not the first time the corporation highlights the problems and disruption of the IKM software and reference for similar communication in the past has also been mentioned in the latest letter sent to the IKM head.
While companies need to update the record of around 4.5 lakh tax assessment, Wing revenues have reported that buildings from 2016-17 can be assessed using software and do not have facilities to register buildings from year to year before 2016-17 with a retrospective effect.
Although CESS services have been calculated at City Corporation along with property taxes for the past three years, software does not have facilities to add Cess services to buildings that are assessed before CESS services come into force.
According to the letter sent to the IKM, while combining the database before 2016, officials tried to post taxes for a full year; However, the system will still reflect half a year.
It also includes other technical disorders such as delays, often the instance of the obstacle system that has delayed the process of data renewal.
The corporation also raised the problem of IKM accounting software.
Officials have reported that collections of zonal offices are transported to the main office in 15-30 days and this has made it difficult for sciences to immediately examine collection records from the zonal office.
Disturbances in software also affect the reconciliation process that needs to be done directly.
It follows fraud funds in zon offices whose lack of data is updated on property taxes appear.
BJP and UDF raised this problem on the council and alleged that people were made to pay taxes repeatedly because the corporation had never made a tax payment account and money was accused by staff.
The Mayor of Arya Rajendran has stated that the data update will be completed in a month.
The report was submitted to the Director of Urban Affairs regarding problems in the tax data that highlighted the lack of the right database, delaying the right update (posting) as two main problems that caused data inaccuracies regarding tax payments.
The addition of ward after restrictions, environmental rearrangement, tax revisions that mark the shift from the annual lease value to the base area requires data transfer and a large information update.
It turns out that in many cases, updates and non-complete transfers that cause situations where people must provide tax revenues before while paying for certain fiscal or their account will show the previous financial year arrears.
