Since 2005, BBMP has not received tax slabs as against the revision that was supposed to happen once in three years. In 2008, the tax slab for commercial properties was revised with increase in 20 percent. However, the residential properties weren’t affected. In the BBMP council meeting, commissioner Siddaiah has proposed a hike in property tax, but the minister in charge, Ashoka has opposed the property tax hike proposal fearing the backlash of voters in the upcoming assembly elections.

The entire city been divided into six different zones by the BBMP depending on the guidance value of the properties based on their locations. Tax paid for properties of same dimension in different zones are not the same in terms of tax collection. For example, a tech park located in Mahadevapura that comes under C zone, pays lesser to the BBMP compared to that of Vittal Mallya road which is in A zone.

People living in the outskirts of the city which falls in c, d, e, f of the tax zones, might come under B zone, based on the development in the locality, with new move. Public will have to pay more tax , than the earlier tax amount, based on which zone the property falls under.

I heard that the people living in the outskirts of Bangalore will have to pay equal property tax. The BBMP council approved the reorganization of six tax zones for tax collection. After the state government approves the BBMP’s proposal, the process of re-classification will begin.
