Bengaluru citizens rue steepest ever hike in Property Tax

Property owners in Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) layouts have erupted in anger over what they see as an "irrational" and "abnormal" rise in property taxes ranging from 9% to 51% for 2025-26. This is the steepest increase ever, property owners said as the BDA plans to net about Rs 100 crore from the two layouts that it is still managing. The hike, which the BDA quietly introduced in its property tax portal without prior notice, has triggered strong reactions as many property owners felt the BDA's conviction does not go beyond extracting taxes. The authorities look the other way when it comes to delivering any commensurate services, they alleged. The ground realities at NPKL are in sharp contrast to what the senior BDA officials claim in the media. They are either ignorant about the incomplete work or are trying to hide the facts," said Shankar, a 56-year-old plot owner at Block 3 of NPKL. "Many people are prepared to build houses if the authorities focus on beefing up infrastructure rather than on adding to taxes." The BDA tax hike is the latest in a series of price increases the govt has announced including on milk, petrol, bus and Metro fares, electricity tariff, stamp duty on non-registrable documents, and guidance value of properties.
