BBMP Drone Survey Errors Lead to Double Tax Shock for Property Owners

Property owners are receiving demand notices from BBMP regarding property tax, citing discrepancies found through GPS and Drone Surveys. One resident noted that the total area of their house is approximately 2,500 sq ft, but the notice states 4,436 sq ft, increasing the annual property tax from ₹11,439 to ₹20,298. Residents are facing issues as authorities require them to pay half the tax and file an online appeal, despite submitting complaints at the Kengeri Revenue Office.
