A BBMP official said: "People come to the wrong centers and force us to give forms. We can't do that unless they belong to the ward we are in charge of. Also the non-availability of forms and booklets is creating a big problem for us."

The taxes can be paid at the Citizens Service Centre at the BBMP headquarters and the helpline centers (usually the ward offices in various locations) and specified banks.

BBMP has not provisioned for citizens paying at the Bangalore One centers. They say this is because people don't give correct details of their property. "Now we will check if all the details are fine and cheaters can be caught," says Kandre, BBMP PRO.

The forms are not available online and property owners need to collect them the revenue officers in various wards (the link to this is provided below) for a payment of five rupees. The payment of taxes has started from February 10 and the last date is March 31.
