BBMP tax collection 2009-10 from June 1

To avail the benefit of five per cent concession, property owners will have to pay the taxes before June 30.

However, if they miss the June 30 deadline, they can pay the first installment of taxes by July 31 minus five per cent concession. Penalty will start only after July 31.

Though the tax collection of the previous financial year has concluded just recently, the BBMP is firm to start the current year’s tax collection from June 1.

A top BBMP official told Deccan Herald that the dates had been fixed by the government and orders were only being followed. Clearing the confusion that the properties which have jumped from E Zone to C Zone or higher zone, the official said people will have to pay the same amount which they paid in the last financial year.
