The Shiv Sena has alleged that the BJP-led state government is deliberately delaying implementation of property tax rebate proposed for 500-sqft and 700-sqft houses across the city. During the BMC elections, Sena had promised to give 100 per cent rebate on houses up to 500 square feet and those measuring 700 square feet.

Sena MLA and senior party leader Anil Parab said, "On July 6, 2017, the property tax rebate proposal was passed in the civic house, and the mayor had sent a letter to the Chief Minister for his approval. Also, we had raised this issue in the Assembly several times, and CM Devendra Fadnavis had promised to consider it. And yet, nothing has happened.
