India: Tenant, owner will pay if house tax remains unpaid

Kanpur: It has been referred that the Nagar Nigam will now realise the house tax both from the house owner as well as the tenant if the landlord default in paying the tax within the given period.

An opinion to this effect has been unfolded by the city mayor Pramila Pandey at a meeting held with the disgruntled traders of various committees here. She made it that the NN would realize the house tax from both the entities in the case of outstanding dues.

Traders did not fail to clarify that the shops and the residential houses are being attached for non-payment of the house tax by the civic body officials concerned. Hotly grumbling at this strict step the annoyed traders met and complained to the mayor about their discriminatory victimisation.
