I got the property (a flat with hoding no. A) of my deceased mother through a registered will which got also probated in the district Court. This flat had also been mutated in my name in July 2017 with a fresh holding number (A/1) after I cleared the house tax of Flat A for the 1st quarter ( April - June, 2017). I had been regularly paying the house tax since 2017 till date and got "a no dues certificate" from my concerned municipality. Suddenly, I started receiving the outstanding tax for flat A in the name of my mother who expired in 2014.
My humble question is to know how a property A got mutated in my name with fresh holding number A/1 when there were outstanding tax for Flat A. As far as I know a property can be mutated if and only if there was no outstanding tax of the previous owner. Seeking your considered opinion.

The mutation is a separate issue, if there are outstanding dues to IT, the property will be mutated. If any dues are pending the IT department may issue a notice to pay them. However, consult a local CA.

It has nothing to do with IT. It is about house tax and mutation Perhaps you didn't understand what I intended to convey.

It may be an error committed by the department concerned.
You can approach them with an explanation by attaching all the documents pertaining to the property including the mutation records on your name, the copy of probate, the death certificate of your mother and get the issue solved

After all it is a Municipal Office and we face such problems and mistakes. One of the days call on an Official related to issuing notices, with copies of relevant records and get the matter resolved.
