Property tax notices issued despite GMC repeal, councillors stage protest
Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (GMC) councillors on Friday staged a sit-in protest at the corporation's head office in Navyug Market over hiked property tax notices to residents, even though the "board repealed the proposal". The hiked property tax came into effect on April 1. GMC officials, meanwhile, said the process of issuing notices is "system-generated". "If anyone has deposited a hiked property tax, it will be adjusted to older tax slabs," the GMC officials said. But the protesters are not convinced. Councillor Manoj Goyal said, "The GMC board, which met on June 30, unanimously called for bringing the existing property tax — which was applicable before April — and the board passed the proposal, which meant GMC would not collect hiked property tax and would not issue notices to residents. However, the corporation has been issuing notices, which is a violation of the municipal act."

Councillor Neeraj Goyal said, "As a rule, we have the right to the minutes of the meeting and we are demanding whether the board's proposal has been complied with or not. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo There is something missing due to which the officials are not sharing details. Every mayor has asked residents not to deposit property tax at hiked rates, but even then, notices are being issued, which undermines the very office of elected representatives. " Meanwhile, GMC officials said there is another issue involved — a case has been filed in Allahabad high court against GMC's decision to impose an increased property tax and the court's decision is pending. "We are awaiting the court's decision and only after that can the system-generated billing system be updated as per old tax slab rates," a GMC official said. The property tax rates before April 1 were between Rs 0.32/sq foot on properties with less than 12m of road width, Rs 0.48 to Rs 2 for roads 12–24 metres wide and Rs 0.65 to Rs 2.41 for wider roads. The revised rate is between Rs 0.75/sq foot to Rs 4/sq foot. In March, the board passed the proposal to link tax with the DM circle rate. GMC calculates tax based on the annual rental value (ARV) of a property.

For most Indian farmers, costs grow faster than income
For most Indian farmers, costs grow faster than income Indian farmers are hit by the double whammy of stagnant income and declining profit margins, according to an analysis of data compiled by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). For nearly all major crops, the increase in agricultural income over the last decade has not kept pace with the rural inflation rate. The data also shows that the profit margins for most crops have declined. The analysis of ten major crops for both kharif and rabi seasons shows that, except for maize, groundnut and rapeseed/mustard, the increase in farm income has been less than the rural inflation rate during the same period. Inflation rate exceeded income growth In 2013-14, the average input cost was Rs 25,179 per hectare for paddy while the value of family labour was assessed at Rs 8,452 per hectare. The value of the crop was Rs 53,242 per hectare, which meant a profit of Rs 19,611 per hectare. In 2023-24, this profit increased to Rs 30,216 per hectare. Although this was a 54% jump, consumer prices in rural areas increased by 65% between 2013-14 and 2023-24. The crop also saw a decline in profit margins. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo I n 2013-14, the profit margin was 58% of the input and labour costs, which has now dropped to 49.3% of the cost. The input cost and family labour is taken as the total expense to calculate the profit margin since this spending is also part of the formula for Minimum Support Price (MSP). Wheat, unlike paddy, is primarily a rabi (winter) crop, but a comparison of decadal growth in income and margins shows a similar pattern. The surplus over input cost and family labour was Rs 29,442 per hectare in 2012-13 and increased by 53% to Rs 45,179 in 2022-23. That's lower than the 71% increase in rural consumer prices between 2012-13 and 2022-23. The profit margin too decreased from 123% in 2012-13 to 103% in 2022-23. Sugarcane, another major crop, also saw a stagnation in net income. From Rs 96,451 per hectare in 2012-13, the profits increased to 1,21,668 in 2022-23. This 26% increase is lower than the increase in consumer price inflation. In 2012-13, the profit margin was 151%, which declined to 102% in 2022-23. Of the ten major crops (based on highest output) for which the comparison is done, only three have shown an increase in income higher than the inflation rate. These are maize (162%), rapeseed & mustard (85.7%) and groundnut (71.4%). For the rest, the increase was lower than the inflation rate. It was between 50% and 60% for gram, between 20% and 30% for soyabean and cotton, and less than 20% for arhar (tur). Apart from stagnant incomes, the profit margins have declined for all of these crops except maize. These per-hectare profits are roughly equal to the seasonal incomes for a vast majority of Indian farmers. The average land holding size in the Agriculture Census of 2015-16 was just under 1.1 hectares, but most farmers (68.5%) are marginal farmers, which means they own less than 1 hectare of land (averaging at 0.38 hectare). This means that seasonal income for them will be even lower. Experts have pointed out that the stagnation as well as lower agricultural income is due to the extent of mismatch between the share of agriculture in GDP and in employment. Despite contributing only 16% of GDP, agriculture employs more than 40% of India's workforce. In advanced economies like the US, its share in GDP and employment is 0.9% and 2%, respectively. Even in a developing economy like China, agriculture's contribution to GDP is 6.8% while it employs 22% of the workforce.
