This year, the GHMC has also collected information from the electricity department to identify all those buildings using a commercial connection, so that the building could be assessed as a commercial property

The officials are planning to collect details of the top 50 defaulters from all the 18 circles and issue notices to them on a priority basis. GHMC has till now managed to collect around Rs 650 crore property tax so far, which is not even fifty per cent of the target.

there are a few properties where the businesses have ceased to exist, but the buildings still exist like Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), which has a property tax valuation of about Rs 10 crore. These companies have been shut down ages ago, but the buildings and the respective colonies still exist as of now, and they are also not paying the tax.

The authorities of the GHMC have actually ready to send red notices and seize the properties in the city if the tax is not payed subsequently. The seniors officials are now negotiating with the owners of these properties with regard to the taxes.

Oh, I think that it is a good thing that the Government officals are taking strict action against the tax defaulters, as not paying the taxes will result in a huge revenue loss for the Government itself.
