Residential Properties are meant for residential purpose only. When the original building plans and development permission granted, the use was also mentioned. If you change the purpose then its violation of the permission granted. So if you start some kind of business, your neighbour can complaint with the local authorities and local authorities can take the action of even sealing the property.

If your property is in residential form than the municipal corporation can impose penalty/ fine on you, if it is in commercial form then it is in legal form and the municipal corporation can't do any thing.
In this matter municipal corporation can't seal your property.
If there any further query contact to lawrato.

Contact the local property tax authorities in your local body/municipal office and request them to convert it to residential to commercial. They will do it by revising the property tax. The tarrif for commercial is two times comparing residential.
