Property tax bill even though possession not taken


08-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
Dear Sir, I have not taken possession of the booked flat because the builder has not received OC as yet. But the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation has sent a Property Tax bill in my name. So, what should I do ? File a case in MahaRERA ? or file a complaint in MBMC ? In MahaRERA can I make builder and MBMC both parties to the complaint ? Thanks, Deepak.

Until the OC is received, the municipal authorities cannot issue property tax bills in the name of the individual owner. It stands in the name of the developer. The developer is liable to pay the property tax charges until the possession is handed over after receipt of OC.
