Fair rent case

Kaushik Nandy (Querist) 15 July 2017 This query is : Resolved
Sir, I am owning one residential property in kolkata , which was purchased in 2010 wherein two rooms are rented out and tenants are old tenant staying in the room since last 35 years or so and paying a monthly rent of Rs. 26/- per month to me ( since inception of my tenure, rent are paid to me and Rent bill duly signed by them as tenant ) wherein the present rent as per municipal corporation valuation is Rs. 8500/- per month. at this juncture if I file fair rent case to Rent controller kolkata , will it be beneficial to me because as per West Bengal Premises Tenancy act '1997 ( prevailing act of said jurisdiction ) , there is capping in the increment of rent hike which is 4 times of ongoing rent so at most Rs. 104/- would be the rent. Kindly advice.
