Dear Experts,
Myself purchased a flat & entered into an agreement with builder in 2007. Builder has completed building upto 3rd floor. 4th & 5th floor brick work is done. Thereafter, there is no progress in completing the building till date. No any amenities are provided by builder. Therefore, flat owners have filed complaint before the Hon'ble Consumer Court against builder.
Meanwhile, we all got property tax demand notice in flat owner's name, payable with penalty i.e. 3 times. Building completion certificate has not been obtained.
In such case, whose liability to pay the property tax, Builder's or flat owners'?
If builder is not ready to pay, what can be done?
What is the remedy, kindly advise please.
With Regards,

1. Till Occupancy Certificate date, the Builder is liable to pay Property Tax. File another Consumer complaint in the Consumer Court.
2. IF the building is illegally occupied by Flat-Owners, THEN the civic authorities can prosecute in Court.
