BMC Cracks Down on Property Tax Defaulters, Sends Seizure Notices to 20 Big Evaders

• The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued seizure notices under Section 203 to major property tax defaulters.
• Notices warn of movable property seizure and auction, followed by the property itself if taxes remain unpaid.
• Property tax is BMC's main revenue source; payment is mandatory within 90 days of receiving bills.
• Despite repeated reminders and demand letters, 20 large defaulters have not paid, prompting the seizure notices.
• Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr. Ashwini Joshi urges immediate payment to avoid further action, with online facilities available.
