Introduction

The Property Tax System(PT) provides a digital interface to make property assessments, pay property tax, generate payment receipts and monitor tax collection. It can be used by the citizens, Urban Local Body (ULB) counter and field employees and ULB Administrators to accomplish their specific tasks. It is available as a mobile and web-based application.

Functional Scope

The PT product features can be broadly classified as the following modules:

1. Registration, Login and Creation of User Profile

2. Filling an Assessment for a Property

3. Searching for a Property

4. Modifications to a Property

5. Generate Demand Notice

6. Payments collection and Receipts

7. Dashboards and Reports

8. General Features

Registration, Login and Creation of User Profile

Filing For Property Assessment

With this feature, a citizen and employee can perform a self-assessment of a new property for a financial year. This feature helps in registering the property in the system. The details of the property can be entered online and can be assessed for the calculation of the taxes.

The PT Product is designed in a user friendly manner and reduces chances of error. System calculates the tax automatically and creates the demand. If a user wants to reassess his property due to any reason (for eg, incorrect data, change in property etc), it can be done by editing details of the last assessment.

An employee can edit the details of the last assessment, on behalf of the citizen-based on the owner’s input. Citizen can track down the status of his incomplete assessment. Any incomplete assessment can be searched and completed.

Searching for a Property

Citizen or Employee can track down the status of his incomplete assessment. Any incomplete assessment can be searched and completed.

Modifications to a Property

The PT system provides the ability to capture mutation and transfer of ownership. It reduces interfaces between the user and the State and thus promote greater transparency. It also helps in reducing the time taken for mutation after registration. The system provides the ability for alteration of assessment after verification and inspection. Any structural changes like addition/extension/reduction of existing built up area or construction type OR utility changes like usage or occupancy have an impact on the increase/decrease in property tax demand. These changes can be handled by the ‘Additional/Alteration of Assessment’ feature.

The System provides the ability for bifurcation/ amalgamation of property. The property bifurcation/ amalgamation undergoes an approval process. The parent property needs to be modified accordingly, which can be done in the system.

Generate Demand Notice

System has the capability to automatically generate demand notice for a financial year based on set triggers like time-based roll over on completion of a financial year. The system notifies the citizens about the demand through SMS/Email. The generated Bills can also be grouped and printed for physical distribution by the ULB employees. The system provides the capability to Employees to merge and download bills based on given parameters to plan their distribution drives.

Payments collection and Receipts

The citizen/ employee can view payment status of previous assessments from Assessment History section. Payment for any assessment with full or partially paid amount can be completed. Receipts for assessment can be downloaded in Assessment history section after searching for the property details.

Reports and Dashboards

PT reports provides facility to access receipt register, cancelled receipt register, account receipt register, ULB wise PT collection report, DCB Register. All reports can be downloaded in PDF/XLS format.State level administrator can monitor property tax collections, assessments and other information at a state level through dashboards.

Introduction

What does bifurcation of property mean?

• A property is divided into two or more parts.

• New properties which come into existence are called child properties.

• The property that got bifurcated is known as parent property.

• The owner(s) of the parent and child properties remain the same.

• The relationship of child and parent properties is maintained to track the bifurcation.

• Change in ownership of child properties is achieved through the Mutation (Title Transfer) process.

• A building property can be divided into.

  • Building + Building

  • Building + Vacant Land

• A vacant land property can be divided into vacant lands only.

How is the bifurcation of property accomplished on the ground?

The bifurcation is considered a service and the owner(s) has to apply for it. An application is submitted for a property bifurcation with the required supporting documents. There is no fee associated with the bifurcation of property application.

Key Metrics

Below are state-wise approximate figures of amalgamation applications received and processed in a year.

Proposed Solution

How to achieve this with the DIGIT Platform?

1. A new application type ‘BIFURCATION’ is created.

2. The no. of properties resulting due to bifurcation is restricted to five which is configurable and can be changed according to the need of implementations.

3. Application no. the format is defined and configured.

4. Only one application is created and the record of the same is maintained and the new properties created as a result of bifurcation are linked to that application.

5. The workflow component is integrated.

6. The status of parent and child properties is maintained as ‘In Workflow’ while the application is in flow.

7. On the approval of the application, bifurcation comes into effect and all the properties become active.

8. Newly created properties are given a new property ID.

9. Though there are no instances where the application fee is charged for bifurcation, the applicability of the application fee is to be made configurable.

10. Bifurcation comes into effect from the date of approval of the application.

11. No final document is generated as proof of bifurcation.

12. Applicant(s) is/are intimated through SMS/ email notifications about the status and completion of the application.

Validations

1. The parent property should be an active property.

2. Ownership of all the properties (parent + child) remains the same.

3. The total land area of the parent property (before bifurcation) should be equal to the total land area of all the properties (parent + child).

4. The total built-up area of the parent property (before bifurcation) should be equal to the total built-up area of all the properties (parent + child).

5. All the child properties inherit the ownership from the parent property.

Section 3: Property Tax (PT) Implementation Methodology

This section provides an overview of the methodology for State-wide implementation of PT. The Implementation of PT is distributed across seven distinct stages. Each stage has predefined entry & exit criteria and roles & responsibilities. This is to ensure objective monitoring and decision-making for the overall success of the program. Details of each stage are defined in this section.

PT implementation program is expected to be completed approximately between 38- 42 weeks depending on the variety of Processes, Integration and the Disparate legacy data systems involved. This is done with the resource deployment by the State and System Integrator (SI) Team. However, it is critical that activities and exit criteria set for each stage are achieved to adhere to this timeline.

Seven Stages of Implementation

Stage 0 - Program Setup/Onboarding

This is a set of initial critical activities undertaken on receiving a letter of Enrollment or MOU from the State. Successful completion of these activities assures that the program is started with crucial personnel, System Integrator(SI) Teams, and funds.

System Integrator(SI) Sign-up

• System Integrator and state will agree on program scope, program timelines, and budgeting & resourcing.

Stage 1 - Program Kick-Off

This stage envisages in-person interaction of crucial State officials and implementation System Integrator(SI) Teams to kick-start the program. This stage may require multiple interactions/meetings with different interest groups. The principal objective of these interactions is to identify and agree on the scope and exclusions of Pilot ULBs, create an active collaboration & Governance approach and agree on a high-level timeline for the engagement.

Stage 2 - Solution Design

During the Solution design stage, key State officials and members, who are subject matter experts, are expected to share their inputs, discuss the process and help understand how to bring in compliance around the system design for the System Integrator(SI) Team. This stage baselines the State-specific product features in the Product Configuration report.

Stage 3 - Configuration & Customization

This stage consists of a series of developments in accordance with the detailed project plan to ensure the smooth functioning of the customised product. Master Data Collection & Environment Setup will be achieved in this phase. Further monitoring and maintenance strategies are put in place.

Stage 4 - UAT & Go Live

During this stage, a demonstration of the product followed by a hands-on session is conducted for the ULB officials. Necessary training of ULB officials and resources required for UAT is conducted and identified respectively. The establishment of the State Support Team and required processes are initiated in this stage.

Stage 5 – Rollout

On successful Go-Live in the Pilot ULBs, and further fine-tuning to stabilize the product, the solution will be rolled out to the rest of the ULBs in phases. Guidance and support from the State Team will be required to create the rollout plans and assure the necessary infrastructure for training and deployment is available at each ULB.

Stage 6 – Sustenance and Ongoing Improvement

The final stage consists of strategies to ensure the sustenance of the program in the State. Systems are put in place to ensure the continuous tracking of data and provisions are made to improve the product if new data suggest.

Section 4: Roles and Responsibilities

PT Cell, eGov Team & System Integrator(SI)Team

This section outlines the activities involved in each stage of the implementation along with the responsibility and accountability of critical stakeholders - State, eGov Team and System Integrator Team onboard.
