The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has initiated e-auction proceedings for 12 properties, including vacant plots, a commercial building, and a mixed-use property, as part of its crackdown on large property tax defaulters. The move comes after outstanding dues of Rs 378.63 crore remained unpaid despite repeated notices.

The Tax Assessment and Collection Department of BMC announced on Monday that the 12 properties include 10 vacant plots, one commercial building, and one mixed-use property. Each defaulter was served a 21-day notice to clear dues, failing which their properties will be auctioned.
