Faulty server affects citizens at Ranip, Vadaj civic centres

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's 'server down' issue brought to the fore its E-misgovernance with residents of Ranip and Vadaj being at the receiving end at civic centres on the last day of the advance tax payment on Monday. The residents wanted to avail 10% rebate on payment for civic services. After an internet issue at Vadaj civic centre, AMC sent a mobile tax collection van here to collect advance tax, a source said. Ranip resident Roshan Shah was left hassled. "I went to Ranip civic centre around 9.45 am for payment.

I was told the server was down and I was made to wait for more than an hour but no one took my payment. What kind of service is AMC giving amid talks of 'Digital India'?" According to Manoj Patel of Balolnagar in Ranip, "I went to pay my advance tax to get rebate of 10% at Ranip civic centre. But the server was down. This is pathetic as people want to pay for the services but AMC fails to provide facilities." The AMC E-Governance department agreed there was a pro blem. But clarified that the problem was not with its server but the internet lease line. An official said: "We got complaints of Ranip and Vadaj civic centres. We reinstated the lines in sometime. The internet lines are down sometimes due to technical reasons."

PEOPLE PAY RS 7 CRORE ON LAST DAY

AMC collected more than Rs 7 crore advance tax on last day of offering 10% rebate to citizens. A total of Rs 265 crore was collected as advance tax in April and May. The highest income came from new west and west zones.
