Property tax is levied on the property, collected by MC of Soceity as a welfare measure to its members  which is to be deposited with municipality on behalf of individual member.

However, it (property tax) should/ can not form part of balance sheet, recheck and clarify.

The Society either has to refund the excess property-tax collected or allow the members their respective credits, of the excess property-tax collected from them, in their next maintenance bills, this has to be done with mutual understanding.
