The attention of all the Commissioners of ULBs is invited to the

reference cited.

You are well aware that as per Sec. 124 of AP Municipalities Act,
1965, the Municipal Council may write off any tax, fee or other amount,
whatsoever due to it, if in its opinion such tax, fee or other amount is
irrecoverable.

Similarly, as per Sec.281 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1955

(formerly GHMC Act), the Commissioner may with the approval of the
Standing Committee from time to time, write off any sum due on account
of any tax, which shall in his opinion be irrecoverable.

As per the above provisions, even though the write-off screen is

made available in Commissioner’s login under ERP Property Tax Module,
they are writing letters to this office to get the demand removed or
corrected in respect of some Property Tax Assessments.

In this connection, all the Commissioners are directed, not to send

any such proposals in this regard, in future and take necessary action at
the level of the Commissioner as per the above provisions of the Municipal
Laws and rules made thereunder, after obtaining the Resolutions of the
Municipal Council (or) Standing Committee as the case may be.

Also to effect the changes in demand due to write-off in the ERP

system, they may use the relevant screens available in Commissioner’s
login under ERP system, for updation of the same against the Assessment.
