Earlier, the formulae was the Ready Reckoner rate multiplied by 1.2 (base rate) multiplied by built-up area (carpet area x 1.2). But the new formula will be Ready Reckoner rate x 1.2 x carpet area.
As per the BMC, the burden on the tax payer will reduce from the current 27.43 to 14.52 per cent since the additional 1.2 base rate will be gone.
However, the corporators, who are not allowing the house to function, will have to pass the proposal by March 20 or else the burden shall remain.
