The West Bengal Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 2024 modifies property tax assessment and collection rules under municipal corporations in West Bengal. It directly impacts property owners and tax-paying individuals within municipal corporation areas. Under this law, property owners must submit self-assessment returns either online or offline based on published rate charts. Failing to submit returns on time or hiding property details can result in penalties up to thirty percent of the tax. Additionally, if official property reassessments are delayed beyond five years, property values automatically increase by ten percent every five years until a new valuation takes effect.
