Bengaluru: BBMP has collected more than ₹1 thousand crore property tax in the first month of the 2025-26 year, which is 40 percent more than the collection in April compared to the previous year.

Waste management user fee was implemented in the BBMP area in April. The inclusion of this fee in the property tax itself has also led to an increase in tax collection. In addition, there was a 5 percent discount for those who paid the full tax in April. Property owners have taken advantage of it. This discount has been extended till the end of May, and the collection is likely to increase further.
