    1. Library cess has to be paid invariably along with house tax. But others are user charges. If the Gram panchayat provides any facility then you have to pay user charges.

    1. Tax once paid in a year cannot be demand again in bifurcated Panchayat. After constitution of new gram panchayat, the District Collector will order for assets and liabilities from existing gram panchayat. You ought to have been shown paid receipt to staff of new gram panchayat before payment. However, you apply for return amount. If not refunded meet Mandal Panchayat Officer in this regard for solution

  23. In the above article (rules) it was clearly mentioned that levy of house tax on Government educational institutions buildings are exempted as per G.O.Ms.No.282 dated.12-03-1965, which was issued under A.P.G.P.Act, 1964.Consequently AP Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 was enacted and accordingly rules were issued in G.O.Ms.No. 30 dated 20-01-1995. the same was in force in Andhra Pradesh. Again, in Telangana state, new Panchayat Raj Act was enacted from 18-04-2018. In both Acts there was no Exemption for government buildings used for education purpose.
    Further except Library cess others are user charges, levied for providing facilities, like water, street-light, drainage tax.Librarycess is on house tax as per Public Libraries Act. which mondatory and liable to pay whether there is library is there or not in the village.

    1. Once house tax is levied it can't be cancelled unless house is demolished. There is no option for levy of vacant land tax in Gram panchayats. However open space around house is taken to arrive house value for assessment of house tax.

  27. Sir, I'm from Andhra Pradesh, if a house has been demolished for 2 years and also the tax has been lifted after being demolished. Which assessment number should be allocated to the house old one in the house was built and paid tax for or a new one. Please clarify sir.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Once the house collapsed or demolished, Panchayat Secretary should strike down tax details of the said house from the Assessment Register by endorsing the "House demolished" along with it's Assessment Number. Then after completion of new house, in same place or another place, fresh Assessment house tax should be completed and for that newly constructed should be given after the existing last Assessment Number already recorded in the said register.
