Following are some important pointers regarding the payment of Property tax:
- The tax rates remain the same for the financial year of 2014-2015 as the previous year.
- If entire tax is paid before 30th April, you will earn a rebate of 5% on your incurred tax amount. If tax of 1st half of the year is not paid before 30th May, you will be charged an interest of 2% per month after that.
- In case of payment in installments, for interest-free payment you need to make the 1st payment before 30th May and the second before 29th November.
- If your tax details starting from 2008-2009 to 2013-2014 are available online, you can pay your BBMP property taxes online using your credit/debit card through the BBMP website. In this case, no transaction charges will apply. You will need your BESCOM & BWSSB connection R.R. Numbers or Meter Number while filling the online form.
- If you have an assigned Khata or PID number, you can pay your property tax for the financial year 2014-15 through Cheque, DD, Pay Order or by using a Credit/Debit card at Office of the Assistant Revenue Officer or at BBMP Help Centres. If you don’t have a Khata can use separate forms/returns and pay similarly. People who have not paid taxes since 2008-09 can file their returns and then pay like the others.
- If you don’t have an authorized revenue layout or don’t have an Occupancy Certificate/Ownership/Title Deed, you can pay register your property in B Register at the Office of the Assistant Revenue Office and pay your tax under the Self Assessment Scheme.
- If the sum of your incurred tax and Solid Waste Management Cess is less than Rs.1000, you can pay at the Office of the Assistant Revenue Officer or at BBMP Help Centers in cash.
- The Self Assessment Property Tax applications/return form and Solid Waste Management Cess application form are available at the Office of the Assistant Revenue Officer/ BBMP Help Centres. The Solid Waste Management Cess can be calculated on a yearly or half-yearly (proportionately) basis and must be paid while paying property tax.
- BBMP has already issued a tax assessment notice to owners who haven’t made the payments from 2008-09 to 2012-13. Only after clearing the current outstanding due amount, you can pay property tax for 2014-15.
- If you pay a property tax of over Rs.15000 by DD/Pay Order, the payment receipt is issued immediately. If you choose to pay the same by cheque, the receipt will be issued after the amount is realized. In case the amount is less than Rs.15000, the receipt is issued right away. In case you opt to pay your tax online, the payment receipt will be issued instantly.
