According to rules, KMC needs to conduct a GR exercise every six years. Based on the change in the nature of properties, the tax amount goes up or gets reduced. If there is no change in a residential house (addition, alteration, or making commercial uses), the annual valuation of a residential building goes up by 10%.

Take the case of However, such a hike in the AV and imposition of subsequent property tax is not legal, pointed out a lawyer in the municipal tribunal. According to the lawyer, the KMC assessment department can’t calculate three GRs at a time and compel the owner to pay property tax based on pending GRs. And the process is also erroneous, he pointed out. “KMC needs to send an inspector to the house each time a GR is done. And based on the change in the property, a tax hike is calculated. But without sending an inspector to take note of any changes, how can the KMC calculate a hike in tax simply based on pending GRs?” asked the lawyer.

Instead, the civic body is planning to create slabs — those who have not paid the tax for many years will receive lesser monetary relief compared to those who are recent defaulters. Mayor Firhad Hakim said on Wednesday that the existing system — granting 50 per cent waiver on interest and 99 per cent waiver on penalty — will continue till September. Hakim did not say it in as many words that the facility would be discontinued after September, but KMC officials said there had been internal discussions on discontinuing the blanket waiver after a few months. The KMC Act 1980 has a section that empowers the mayoral council to use its power to grant relief on the accumulated interest and penalty of property tax defaulters. The act says that the maximum relief that can be offered is 50 per cent waiver on the accumulated interest and 99 per cent waiver on the penalty. The power was later delegated to the mayor by the mayoral council. This is not a time-bound waiver scheme but a provision in the KMC Act that was included through an amendment about five or six years ago, said officials. It is up to the mayor to decide whether a defaulter would be granted the relief or not, officials said. News KMC to roll out certificate delivery services at doors...
