The West Bengal government has introduced property tax waiver schemes targeting defaulters across six municipal corporations in the state. These initiatives allow property owners to clear outstanding dues with up to a 100% waiver on accumulated interest and penalties. The schemes, which apply to residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties, offer a 10% rebate on the principal for residential buildings. The programs are active until March 31.
