Property tax arrears increasing as builder not done property tax name transfer

Q: Apartment was ready for possession in 2016-Jan, I got possession on 2016-Aug.

As the property was in Builders name property tax levied on my flat was 10k .
In same society other flats got a bill of 6k (private owners).

I asked the builder to pay the taxes for Jan-Aug (possession) he delayed and again next year bill was 10k due to commercial owner(40% extra).

He is refusing to transfer the property in my name and asking i get it transferred myself.

this way instead of 6+6+6 (for 3 years) i got property bill of 10+10+10 for 3 years.

Can i pay the property tax myself then get the name transferred and file a consumer case for refund from builder ?

Thanking you.

purchased via sale agreement.
small builder and its 30 flat scheme in vadgaosheri.
PMC told that like electricity meter transfer property tax transfer had to be applied with fees and documents AFTER PAYING ALL THE ARRIER PROPERTY TAX.

Will you please mention the name of the project, builder, and its locality so that I can provide you the fair idea of it?

While from your question it is not clear if you have paid for the property and still the property is not transferred in your name or if there are any other legal documents that validate you being the owner of the property. However, its in your best interest to get the property under your name before you pay any taxes.

Why is the property not registered in your name? Have you checked with the tax department?
