Hello Sir, Thanks fo your valuable time.
My father had purchased a plot in Bangalore city in year 1993. However he was never aware that property tax needs to be paid on plot of land also. Recently I realised it and spoke to an official of Bangalore Muncipality(BBMP) on telephone and sent copies of the plot to him, who informed me that now I would need to pay fine/ penalty over delay of payment of propety tax from 1993 to 2012 @ 2% per month. My Question--Do we have to pay penalty on non-payment of tax for 19 yrs ( I approached the officials of BBMP first, and no notice/demand for payment ever issued on the plot till date by BBMP ). Is there any other way to avoid the penalty as it is a very huge amount. Also from which year did govt. implement penalty on non-payment of property tax Thanks George
