REGARDING MUTATION

Hello,

Yes corporation may impose such condition to clear all the previous dues before effecting new mutation entry.

You can contact expert Omprakash to take legal action against corporation. He will teach them how to generate / recover revenue.  

It is mandatory as per some Municipality/Corporation rules that if there are arrears of revenue, a mutation can not be made.  In several Bank auctions, the same problems are being faced.  The auction purchaser while applying for mutation has to cough up for all tax arrears whereas the bank and the previous owner (borrower) are free to evade.  Mutation is not being permitted without clearing the arrears with interest also.

May be the procedure is a rule of convenience.But anyhow, the unpaid taxes are a first charge on the property. So, it is a matter of convenience that the dues are cleared at the earliest opportunity.

Clearing pending electricity bills by the previous owner is the duty of the new auction purchaser -as the purchase is as is where the basis is the  SC Judgment, also confirms the stand of the corporation in collecting the arrears before mutation. Most of the sale deeds contain such clauses on house tax also reminding that reasonable inquiries should be made on the pendency of Govt.dues by the purchaser.

You will have to pay all the property tax clearance (no dues) certificate which is mandatory for mutation in either of the 3 MCDs
