SCIC in the dock for availing state benefitJanuary 20, 2012
SCIC in the dock for availing state benefitJanuary 20, 2012
State chief information commissioner (SCIC) K.S. Sripathi, a former chief secretary, has come under the scanner for availing a Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) flat in Nerkundram.
Activists have appealed to the governor to take action against Mr Sripathi as SCICs cannot receive benefits/emoluments from state governments.
He took charge as SCIC on September 1, 2010, after retiring as All India Service Officer (AISO) on April 31 that year.
C. Selvaraj of ATAC, in a complaint lodged on January 17, claimed Mr Sripathi applied to TNHB for a flat in Nerkundram under a scheme “for government officials and employees” and got it.
In a separate complaint, another activist A. Shankar said SCIC was not an AISO on October 28, 2010, when the scheme was floated or on February 28, 2011, when its guidelines were framed.
“On retiring from civil service, he ceased to be a government employee and hence his claim to a flat is an effort to ‘acquire other interests’ as per section 17(3)(e) of RTI Act 2005,” Mr Selvaraj said, demanding Mr Sripathi’s removal.
SCIC, however, denied being a beneficiary of the Ne-rkundram scheme. “Every-thing has been done legally,” he told DC.

Oral orders given for flat allotment
January 20, 2012 By G. JAGANNATH DC chennai
Tamil Nadu Housing Board’s Own Your Housing scheme for government officers and employees in Nerkundram had been embroiled in a controversy since its launch. A public interest litigation is pending in the Madras high court challenging the scheme.
Allotment of a flat in Nerkundram to state chief information commissioner (SCIC) K.S. Sripathi has come under scanner following complaints made by activists C. Selvaraj of ATAC and A. Shankar.
According to TNHB sources, allotment for retired IAS and IPS officers were made following verbal instruction from the higher-ups.
Besides, Mr Sripathi, retired DGPs K. P. Jain and V. Balachandran were also allotted flats in Nerkundram after their retirement from the service, RTI activist V. Gopalakrishnan said.
“The verbal instructions were given to set a cut off date on which day the then state housing minister Suba Thangavelan made the announcement about the scheme in the Assembly,” the official said.
TNHB officials said the Nerkundram scheme was meant only for the serving government officials and employees.
The guideline for Own Your Housing scheme for government officials and employees issued by the housing and urban development department on February 28, 2011, clearly states that the allotment can be availed only by government employees.
“The guideline did not mention any thing about the retired employees availing allotment under the scheme,” Mr Gopalakrishnan said

complaint about tax evasion by Tamilnadu MLA
To
The Director,
The Directorate of Income Tax Investigation,
Nungambakkam High Road,
Chennai - 600 034.
Sir,
Sub: MLAs of Tamilnadu 2006-11- under reporting of income-
evasion of payment of tax in full –action to collect prescribed income tax- reg.
Ref: our previous complaint dated 04/08/2011 from V.Gopalakrishnan
-----
We have sought for certain information under RTI Act about the income
tax returns filed by the some of the MLAs of Tamilnadu.
The Public Authority of Assembly Secretariat has given the
information stating that the payments made to the MLAs does not come
under “salary” and it has been classified as “income from other
source”. Accordingly, as stated by the PIO, the Assembly Secretariat
is not liable to effect TDS, but the MLAs has to pay the tax directly.
The payments are directly made to the MLAs by the Assembly
Secretariat. Hence the appropriateness of the stand taken by the PIO
to be studied and decided.
The CPIO of Income tax department has simply denied the
information about the income tax return and balance sheet filed by the
MLAs of Tamilnadu.
On further investigation and analysis, it has come to light that most
of the MLAs have under reported their income, much less than the
actual income of around Rs. 6 lakhs per annum. Such details are
available in the affidavit filed by them, as is found in the web site
of Election Commission (Tamilnadu). The compiled details are enclosed
herewith (annexure -1, 2, 3 and 4).
It reveals that the MLAs are not making the due payment of income tax
commensurate to their income.
Hence it is requested to take effective steps to recover the unpaid
tax amount which is arising out of unrealistic reporting of their
income.
kindly pass reward.
