Solution lies in meeting with the notice issuing authority by getting reason clarified from him, as no expert of LCI can clarify on behalf of the nagar nigam.

Ask anyone here in India to meet the Muncipality official and workout the penalty imposed on your property. House tax or property tax is based on the usage of the property, for self residential use by owner is lesser than for commercial use including the leasing it on rent which is considered commercial use. If you had given your house on rent the house tax or property tax will be higher if it was self occupied by the owner himself.
Penalty imposed may be on this usage of your house property.
