Bengaluru: The BBMP’s East Zone on Wednesday sealed four properties in Mittal Town on MG Road for defaulting property tax payments.
The civic body has intensified efforts to target top defaulters in each zone to recover dues before the third quarter ends, when the BBMP’s One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme expires.
The properties sealed include Pro Financial Services, Amithab Goel, Shanthi R Rao, and Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd, collectively owing approximately Rs 40 lakh to the BBMP after applying the OTS scheme benefits.
Officials report a total of 2,418 properties with outstanding property tax payments, amounting to Rs 66 crore in dues. The BBMP has begun issuing attachment orders to facilitate recovery.
In the last 24 hours, the BBMP has sealed around 115 establishments across the city.
