With only 40 days left for the financial year to end, the BMC is yet to issue physical copies of property tax bills, or upload soft copies on its website. This delay continues even as the corporation was given a nod by the state cabinet 12 days ago, and a Government Resolution (GR) was issued on Friday—an essential development for the bills to reach Mumbaikars’ doorsteps.

Following the GR, the BMC required 10 days more. Amid the challenges it faces with recovering property tax bills from big industries as well as ongoing disputes, the ordinary citizen remains inconvenienced. “We couldn’t issue bills till the GR was issued in the gazette. Revised bills have already been prepared, and we will attempt to upload them as soon as possible,” a senior official from the corporation said.
