What do I do to change the name in Property tax?

Q: I bought a flat in Bilekahalli, Bangalore and transferred the khatha in my name. To my surprise still the property tax comes in the name of the previous owner. How do I change this?

I agree with Santhosh, visit the BBMP and check with the official what are the documents required and also to be on the safer side seek help from your legal expert. He will guide in the right way

Go to BBMP office and submit the copy of previous owner's khata, your khata, tax paid receipt along with a request to update the records...

Not only you, there are many facing the same issue with BBMP. The officials do not update the info asap and that's why this problem occurs.

You need to do mutation of the said property in which you have to submit certain documents as a proof of the sale transaction with the municipal council and thereafter you name will be in the register of the municipal council. Following are the necessary documents for the mutation of the property:
1. Copy of Sale-deed

2. Application for mutation with Rs.3/- Court fee stamp affixed on it

3. Indemnity Bond on Rs.100/- Stamp Paper.

4. Affidavit on Rs.10/- Stamp Paper.

5. Clearance of up-to-date Property Tax.

Submit evidence of change of ownership of property by submitting documents on which proper stamp duty has been paid and the transfer registered properly.
