To avoid legal hassles in auctioning off attached immovable assets of property tax defaulters, the BMC will engage an agency to check if some other dues are tied to them. It has floated a tender to select the agency.

“BMC has decided to get a search report of 595 properties that are attached over property tax default, from the state government’s registration department. From this report, BMC will find out if there are more dues like pending loans or other taxes,” said a BMC official.
