The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has begun issuing notices to property tax defaulters. Over 565 defaulters have received notices so far. The BMC plans to seize the properties of defaulters and either recover the property tax or auction the properties.

According to a civic official, “We have started issuing notices to the defaulters, giving them 21 days to pay their pending dues. If a taxpayer fails to pay within 21 days, we will proceed with the process of property attachment.” This notice is referred to as an “attachment notice”, the official added.
