New Town Property Owners Must Mutate to Pay Taxes
Imagine you own a house in New Town.
The local government, NKDA, needs to know who owns each property.
This is called mutation, updating the ownership records.
Now, if you haven't done this, you can't pay your property taxes online!
The NKDA changed its website to make sure everyone gets their properties mutated.
Over 14,500 properties need this done.
This helps make sure the government knows who owns what, which is important for things like selling your house or getting a loan.
The cost to mutate depends on your property.
New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) mandates property mutation for tax payments.
Over 14,500 of 58,000+ assessed properties in New Town lack completed mutation.
Non-mutated property owners cannot pay property tax via the NKDA portal.
NKDA aims to push owners to complete mutation for updated ownership records.
Mutation fees vary depending on property location and size.
