I am residing in Dodda Bommasandra near Vidyaranyapura and even we are not able to pay tax online and I was suggested by revenue officers to pay tax in BBMP office instead. However, many residents did not depend on the online mode and have been paying tax at the BBMP office itself. This is because the BBMP had not issued PID numbers to more then 50,000 properties in the pockets on Byatarayanapura due to assembly election duties.
The hassle free online mode of property tax is not available for thousands of property owners in areas such as Vidyaranyapura in North-West Bangalore. I am a resident of Vidyaranyapura, and bought a 2 BHK flat in 2005, but I was unable to pay tax online last year as well as this year.
Property tax collection has started for the year 2013-2014, but more than 50,000 property owners in Byatarayanapura, off Bellary Road are facing problems to pay tax online and making several trips to BBMP office.
Over 1,699 property owners have paid tax online. The Palike collected Rs 89 crores of property tax in past 15 days. The last day to pay property tax for the year 2013-14 with a five percent rebate is April 30.
