This query is : Resolved
The Municipal Corporation collected the Property Tax-VLT with four years retrospective effective date and during this period also Property Tax is paid and VLT need not be paid , but paid due to pressure from Municipal Officers and to get No due Certificates under compulsion, for Registration of the documents .
The Tax payment and its related matters comes under Consumer Disputes ???????
For recovery of excess paid amount/Tax consumer dispute is maintainable or a civil suit to be filed .

Dear Mr. Rao
You can validly file a case before the District Consumer Forum and the same will be definitely allowed in your favour.
In case you need more assistance do mail.

My opinion is that tax-payer is not a consumer and as such DCDRF has no jurisdiction to entertain and adjudicate the disputes relating to payment of property taxes. You have to approach the civil court. Whether a tax payer is consumer ? Awaiting the views of my learned friends.
