To facilitate timely property tax payments, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced that its civic facilitation centers will remain open for extended hours on December 30 and 31, 2024. Property owners can make payments at these centers from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Monday, December 30, 2024, and from 8:00 AM to midnight on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
The property tax collection target for the current financial year is set at Rs 6,200 crore. As of now, the BMC has successfully collected Rs 3,582.67 crore, which accounts for 58% of the target.
To assist taxpayers, the BMC’s headquarters and all administrative (ward) office civic facilitation centers will stay open late into the evening. The civic body has issued a stern warning regarding strict punitive actions for those who fail to pay their property taxes before the due date. It also urged citizens to pay their taxes on time to avoid penalties.
The BMC’s tax assessment and collection department has been running extensive awareness campaigns to ensure property owners across Mumbai complete their tax payments within the given time frame. Additionally, to further support taxpayers, administrative offices and civic facilitation centers will remain open on Saturdays.
The BMC encourages all citizens to take advantage of the extended hours and fulfill their property tax obligations before the deadline.
