How Property Tax Works in Bangalore — And Why Unpaid Tax is YOUR Problem
Unpaid BBMP property taxes transfer to the new owner. Learn how to verify Tax Paid Receipts (TPR) before buying a plot in Bangalore.
In Bangalore, property tax liability travels with the property, not the person. If the previous owner skipped paying taxes for 5 years, the BBMP will knock on YOUR door.
What is a Tax Paid Receipt (TPR)?
A TPR is the official acknowledgment from the municipal corporation (BBMP/BMRDA) that all dues are cleared for the current financial year. You must verify TPRs for at least the last 5 years.
Action Step: Never pay a token advance without seeing the latest TPR and cross-checking the Application Number online on the BBMP portal.
