In Mumbai BMC has increases property tax 3 times for the industrial property under the Capital Value systems, so the property tax is more than the basic rent of the property. under section 147 of MMC Act, landlord can received difference of property tax amount from the tenants/occupiers of the property. property tax is comes under permitted increases as per Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999. Kindly clarify the same.
your action will be highly appreciated

Sir,
If your tenancy agreement cites the rent to be exclusive of property tax, which is usually the case, then you can collect the increased amount of property tax from your tenants.
Good Luck,
