Hello Experts,
I have recently purchased a 3 years resale property through a bank loan and I hired a lawyer for this legal transaction.
The project is currently maintained by builder and society is yet to be formed for which work is in progress.
After the transaction, recently property tax receipt was delivered at my home and noticedproperty tax has not been paid since last 3 years.
Now, after the deal, the previous Owner is not responding to clear the outstanding property tax and the lawyer has also sent the legal notice twice but no response from their end.
I think, this was a also a miss from my lawyer side on property tax.Do you agree ?
Please could you advise what can be done now at this stage to get the property tax cleared.
Mutation is the most essential part after purchasing of the property. If you have applied for mutation, then Municipality/Corporation must have demanded arrears of tax before affecting mutation. Though it is difficult to judge the legal opinion tax paid receipts are most essential as the term is DEVIL T. Document, Encumbrances, Valuation, Insurance, legal opinion, and Tax paid receipts are essential.
