Dear Sir,
My name is Sutharsanan and my father in law is planning to construct a house for 2300sqft area (out of total land area is 21780sqft) falling under the Town Panchayat at Gudalur, Tamil Nadu.
The above land was purchased by him on March of 1990 and He was using the land for agriculture purpose, Cultivating Panana, Termeric, Tea plant and etc.
Further, He applied for House construction approval from Town Panchayat office and he obtained the Forest approval also. Now Town panchayat Commission insisting orally us to pay the Vaccant Land Tax from Mar-1990 onwards for whole land of 21780sqft calculating per year 30piase/sqft and comes to 143748INR for 22years. This is so surprise and we didn't predicted for our plan and this is 10% of our total construction plan.
In this above, We required your valuable inputs on the following question.
1) Vacant Land tax is applicable to pay for Agriculture land. if yes/no, what is backups.
2) What is calculation method if applicable.
3) 143748INR is very huge, Is ther any exemption available?.
4) Is there any best way to go for the Construction approval.
thank you!!.
Regards
Sutharsanan
