Property tax collections in Bengaluru have recorded a significant shortfall of around INR 2,652 crore against a target of INR 6,700 crore for the current financial year, with total realisation standing at approximately INR 4,047.7 crore. The gap persists despite stepped-up enforcement actions, including property attachments and auction proceedings.

While some zones such as South and East Bengaluru have performed relatively better, others, particularly North Bengaluru, continue to lag. The newly formed Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and its five corporations are expected to take direct responsibility for revenue mobilisation going forward, highlighting the critical role of property tax in sustaining urban infrastructure and municipal finances.Read more

The Chandigarh administration is assessing whether to adopt a land pooling model or proceed with outright land acquisition for developing nearly 1,500 acres across 22 peripheral villages. While land pooling has been advocated by farmers as a participatory approach, officials have identified planning constraints under the Chandigarh Master Plan-2031 and challenges in assembling contiguous land parcels. Internal estimates indicate that outright acquisition could generate significantly higher revenues, with potential earnings of around INR 66,000 crore after development and auctions. In contrast, land pooling could reduce auctionable land and result in revenue shortfalls of up to INR 28,500 crore. The proposal remains under evaluation amid competing priorities of fiscal considerations, urban planning compliance and stakeholder expectations.Read more
