Hey I think . It is the builder's responsibility to take property tax by the time handing over the possession to you. so, if you have already got possession, you will have to pay the property tax.

If the builder is take care of the maintenance part then the builder will be able to charge the maintenance from the day the builder is ready to take possession. Same is the case with the property tax. It is payable from the date the building is ready for occupation.
