Overview
- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation closed FY2025–26 at Rs 7,610.90 crore in property tax, with a Rs 399.74 crore single-day spike on Tuesday as the deadline hit.
- BMC’s crackdown drove payments after it attached 6,922 properties linked to Rs 6,089 crore in dues, prompting 2,888 defaulters to clear Rs 784.32 crore as auctions and seizures moved ahead.
- Other cities also set highs as Navi Mumbai logged Rs 876 crore, Thane reached Rs 878.37 crore, Panvel collected Rs 691 crore, PCMC took in Rs 947 crore, and Bhiwandi hit Rs 103.31 crore using amnesty windows, longer hours, and digital outreach.
- Performance remained uneven as Bhopal finished nearly Rs 164 crore short of its annual target and Andhra Pradesh collected about Rs 2,300.80 crore against Rs 5,187.42 crore in dues despite an interest-waiver offer.
- A new state rule lets Mumbai bill hoarding firms back to 2010 under the Capital Value System, opening a roughly Rs 252 crore recovery path even as several thousand crores in arrears remain locked in litigation.
