[Resolved]  Kolkata Municipal Corporation — Delay in Mutation of Resale Property

Address:

West Bengal

Dear Sir,
I have purchased a resale flat in Santoshpur (Jadavpur), Kolkata 75 (Ward No: 103) recently.
I have applied for a Mutation at the Santoshpur Corporation in order to change the flat officially in my name in the records of the corporation also.
The biggest surprise is that although my flat is only 799 sqft (as per deed), the officials at the corporation office is claiming the same flat with an area of 1695 sqft. My question is can a Resale flat, which was previously mutated @ 799 sq ft built up area be declared as 1695 sq ft and being taxed heavily???? Its a property made of bricks & cement and cannot be elastic in nature due to which it may increase in area size.
Please suggest me to come out of this unscrupulous practices and excessive taxation of the corporation.

Regards
IB
