Mangalore, Feb 27: With the introduction of e-Initiatives by the state government, dealers now have greater convenience in carrying out their dealings and transactions, said VV Hodlur, Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (e-governance).

Making a presentation on the latest e-Initiatives of the Commercial Taxes Department, Government of Karnataka, at a workshop organized by the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), in Mangalore on Wednesday, Mr. Hodlur said that the paperless mode of operation has come about as a positive development.

These e-services include E-Vardan (new registration in KVAT), E-VARADI (filing of returns), E-Payment, E-Sugam and E-Suvega (for transportation of goods), issue and reciept of statutory forms etc. These measures have substantially reduced personal visits of dealers to Commercial Taxes Department offices and are thereby saving valuable time, he said.

Now, e-payment can be made under KVAT, CST, KTEG, and PT Acts, he said. Mobile services can also be utilized through the 'M-Sugam' SMS based request and download for dealers. SMS based alerts to dealers on e-payment receipts are also sent through the mobile service, he said.

RE Thippeswamy, Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (e-governance), Department of Commercial Taxes, Bangalore, Mohammed Ameen, President, KCCI, were among those present.

No relief for Siddaramaiah in MUDA case as HC junks plea against Governor's sanction

News Network

September 24,2024

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed the petition filed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against Governor Thawarchand Gehlot's decision to sanction the complaint and investigation against him in the alleged Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam case.

Justice M Nagaprasanna said the facts narrated in the petition would undoubtedly require an investigation.

The court has also said that the Governor's order approving sanction to investigate against Siddaramaiah under section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act does not suffer from application of mind, instead has abundance of application of mind.

Meanwhile, the court rejected the request made by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi to stay the order of the court. The court has vacated the interim order passed on August 19. In the interim order the trial court was directed not to take any precipitative action against Siddaramaiah. On August 17, Governor had approved sanction under section 17 A of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 218 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita ( BNSS), citing three applications.

The court said the private complainants were justified in registering the complaint and seeking approval from the governor.

Insofar as private complainants seeking sanction under section 17A, the court said the provision nowhere requires only a police officer to seek sanction from a competent authority. The court further said it is in fact the duty of the private complainants to seek such approval.

Earlier, The High Court had completed its hearing in the case on September 12, and reserved its orders. It had also directed a special court in Bengaluru to defer further proceedings and not to take any precipitative action against the Chief Minister.

The case pertains to allegations that compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife B M Parvathi in an upmarket area in Mysuru that had higher property value as compared to the location of her land that had been "acquired" by MUDA.
