Summary:
The civic body has prepared a list of 3.23 lakh property tax defaulters against whom action will be initiated in the first phase. To avoid disconnection of water and electricity supply, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has appealed to property tax defaulters to pay their dues. According to the rules, the taxpayer has to pay property tax within 90 days of receiving the receipt. A senior civic official said, "We will start initiating strict action against major defaulters of property tax." The BMC nearly collects Rs 5000 crore every year from its property tax department..
