MUMBAI: Opposition party leader in the BMC Ravi Raja at the standing committee meeting on Wednesday raised a red flag over the charging of property tax from tenants living in BMC-owned properties.
He said that there are 74,000 such tenants and through a circular, the BMC is expecting them to pay property tax retrospectively from April 1, 2017. “The circular came in April 2017, but they started issuing bills only in December 2020,” said Raja.
The BMC said it would get back to him with details.
