Property tax payment has been a routine affair for N. Rama Murthy, a property owner from Malkajgiri Circle of GHMC, for the past 20 years since he owned a house.
This year, he was in for a shock, when he tried to pay the dues. To his bewilderment, he realised that his property is not in his name any more in GHMC records. It has been mutated to a stranger, about whose existence he had no knowledge at all. He has neither sold nor transferred his property in anybody’s name so far.
“When we enquired with the GHMC circle level officials, they said they changed the details in the records upon receiving the mutation certificate from the registration department. We were directed to approach the sub-registrar for rectification,” said N. Sreedhar, Mr. Rama Murthy’s son.
