Over 23,000 Bengaluru property owners get notices over ₹688 crore tax loss

Over 23,000 property owners have been issued show-cause notices for allegedly declaring incorrect built-up areas, resulting in an estimated loss of ₹688 crore to civic bodies, said Munish Moudgil, Special Commissioner for Revenue and IT.

Mr. Moudgil said these properties were identified using drone survey data obtained from the Revenue Department, followed by field verifications to filter out any incorrect flaggings. Nearly 170 of the 198 wards in the erstwhile Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike have been covered in the drone survey carried out by the Revenue Department.
