Bengaluru residents face increased property tax from April 1

news18.com

Starting April 1, Bengaluru residents will face higher property taxes due to a new user fee for domestic waste management. The Urban Development Department has approved this fee, which will be added to property tax based on property size. The fee will range from Rs 10 to Rs 400 per month, depending on the built-up area. Bulk waste generators will incur additional charges if they do not use approved waste processing services. The existing Solid Waste Management Cess will remain unchanged. Critics have raised concerns about the fee's implementation and its impact on taxpayers, while the government argues it is necessary for better waste management.
