Property tax

I am a doctor from pune.

I practise in a flat in building which is about 27 years old. the building is residential.

Recently i applied in the corporation to get my property taxed as per commercial rates.

The ratable value previously was something like 2500.

now they have calculated it as per present rates and it is a whopping 24000. that is almost 12times the old ratable value.

Can we go to court against this?

approach High Court and obtain injunction from collecting tax against you.
