This in real terms means the property tax has been HIKED from the year 2014-15.

On December 5, 2016 the resolution was passed for hike from April 2014 with retrospective effect and yes even if you have paid in all those THREE retrospective years in Question in April and got 5% rebate the same is not applied now as it is termed as arrears. 

The increase over last years Property tax comes to a hike of about 55.74%. So if you paid 4752 as property tax last year this year you will pay 7401.

    This year they have not even posted the Tax Payable Challan also.Some sort of rules have to be followed they cant make rules to suit their own cause.Some people have honestly paid taxes on time.Just because they have authority doesn’t mean we need to follow every thing dictated by them.

    Yes. I promptly paid this year’s property tax with 3 years arrears, other day. Citizens were not notified collection of 3 years arrears.
    I don’t mind paying the taxes with hike, arrears etc., but where are the matching development works. Look at the pathetic condition of roads, chaotic traffic, horrible parking problems in our beloved cities. I feel cheated inspite of prompt payment of taxes since last 33 years. A very unfortunate situation in deed.

    It must be challenged in court as they can not hike the tax retrospectively.In Vodafone case courts have ruled like that…
