I purchased a house in Bhayandar but property tax bill is in the name of the first owner not in the name of the person from whom I purchased the property. So can u tell me how much charges and which document I need to change the owner name in property tax bill.

Hi, 

If you wish to know how to change name in property tax bill you will have to visit the nearest Thane Municipal Corporation prabhag samiti office. I read this on the official website Thane Property Tax. 

In some cities, the process to change name in property tax bills has been shifted to online mode as well. I didn’t find any such process for Thane unfortunately. 

Here is a list of documents you must carry with you to initiate name change in property tax bill:

1. Receipts of previously paid property taxes

2. NOC from your housing society/ association

3. A copy of the sale deed

4. Government authorized Identification proof

Ideally property mutation should initiate the process to change name in property tax bill as well.

Hope this is helpful :)

Hey friends,

I see there is a lot of confusion about the Cooperative society election. If you live in a housing society, you should know about the election process, schedules, and laws. It will help you choose a representative you like. I will share everything I know on the topic in the paragraphs below. 

Cooperative societies have two types of members. Those are regular members and associate members. Regular members are those who have complied with all the requirements mentioned in the Cooperative Code and the by-laws. Whereas an Associate Member has joint ownership and does not have their name on the share certificate. 

• If the applicant, applicant’s spouse, and children are members of any other housing society that hasn't been permitted by the Registrar. The applicant will not be allowed to become a committee member. 

• Those who continuously default payments 

• Those who have rented their house without notifying the committee body

• Those who cannot show proper bookkeeping/expenditure records

• An associate member is not allowed to become a regular member if an original member has not issued a NOC in their name.

• Anyone who has questionable moral behaviour. 

• Any retired member is not allowed to become a member. 

Though Government Employees or Government Officers can become members. They can even contest to become the founder, Trustee, and Director of a Non-Profit Organisation /Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).

• The election of managing committee of housing society is conducted according to the model bye-laws. All the rules and regulations, and procedures are mentioned in detail there. 

• It is the responsibility of the Chief Promoter to call for the First General Body Meeting of the society. 

• The election is conducted after five years. It is the responsibility of the current committee body to ensure the election is conducted in complete fairness. 

• Any regular member or associate member has the right to vote in the election.

• Each house/ unit in the society is liable to get one vote.

This is all the information I know on the Cooperative society election.

Hey pal,

When an immovable asset like property is transferred from one person to the other. All the records about the property need to be transferred in the name of the new owner. This includes the title deed, tax receipts, electricity bills, water bills, gas bills, etc. We use all these documents as proof of employment prospects, loan applications, university applications, etc. Moreover, a property tax name change is important because tax receipts are necessary to avail of tax deduction benefits. 

Those who live in Thane will have to pay property tax to TMC i.e. Thane Municipal Corporation. I read the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act and all the payment details, including the due date are mentioned there. Tax needs to be paid twice throughout the year, the last dates for the same are April 1 and October 1. Though, I would recommend you keep an eye on the official notice to reconfirm the dates. 

The TMC property tax name change process is not necessarily lengthy. You just need to submit documents ( attested copy of the sale transaction deed, NOC from the housing society, etc) along with the application for the name change to the Commissioner of Revenue. 

Your application and documents will be verified by the government agency and then the record will show the change within 15 to 30 days.

From what I've gathered, property tax name change charges are nominal, you can make the payment while submitting the application for the same. You can even make the payment via net banking or any other online method. 

As a new owner, you need to do a Thane property tax name change and mutation of the house in your name. If the name of the owner is not changed in State records, the old property owner will be liable to pay all the taxes.

This is all from my end on the property tax name change.
