BESCOM will assist BBMP to collect property tax in Bangalore
BESCOM will help the BBMP to identify all the properties in Bangalore, which will help BBMP to find out all the property tax defaulters in the city.
The BBMP will collect data available with BESCOM, based on electricity meter connections.
BBMP has estimated that there are more than 22,000 apartment buildings in Bangalore with more than 7.5 lakh flats. All those projects were constructed over an area of about 78 lakh sq feet.
BBMP can earn an additional amount of Rs 1200 crore from those apartments in Bangalore. At present, BBMP is getting Rs 110 crore from these apartments.
According to an official of BBMP, if a proper survey had conducted to find the irregularities, BBMP could have slapped violation charges of at least Rs 500 crore.
BBMP will set a committee to identify all the illegal construction. And the committee will interact with BESCOM to get the data and crack whip on tax evaders.
