In a move aimed at benefiting the public and encouraging property owners to pay taxes, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has extended the deadline for availing the 5% rebate on property tax payments by one month. Earlier, the deadline was April 30.
According to an official order, property owners who pay their entire property tax dues for the financial year 2025–26 will continue to be eligible for a 5% discount until May 31. The extension comes as part of BBMP’s initiative to encourage timely tax payments and enhance revenue collection.
This decision is expected to bring relief to citizens who have not yet paid their taxes and offer them another opportunity to avail the rebate. Civic officials hope the move will help in improving early tax payment. The citizens have also been requesting the BBMP for extension.
BBMP has urged property owners to take advantage of the extension and make payments promptly, either through online platforms or designated BBMP tax payment centers.
