WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING QUERIES REGARDING THE BETTERMENT/IMPROVEMENT CHARGES PAYABLE TO BBMP. THE TAXATION SUB-COMMITTEE HAS RECOMMENDED RS52/- PER SQUARE FEET OF BETTERMENT CHARGES BUT, IT IS THE GOVERNMENT WHICH IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY TO DECIDE THE QUANTUM OF THE CHARGE AND IS YET TO TAKE THE DECISION.
THE COLLECTION OF THE AFORESAID CHARGES WERE DISCONTINUED DUE TO AN ORDER OF THE HIGH COURT AND WILL RESUME SOON.
THE COLLECTION OF BETTERMENT CHARGE IS BEING CONFUSED WITH REGULARISATION. BETTERMENT/IMPROVEMENT CHARGES ARE COLLECTED FOR THE NEWLY AMALGAMATED AREAS OF BBMP WITH DC CONVERSION ORDER FOR THE COMPLETE/FULL EXTENT OF THE AREA/PROPERTY/SIZE STATED/MENTIONED IN THE ORDER.
