BMC Extends Property Tax Deadline for 2025-26: What Mumbai Property Owners Need to Know

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has given much-needed relief to property owners by extending the deadline for paying the first half-yearly instalment of property tax for 2025-26.

Why the Deadline Was Extended

The extension comes after delays in printing revised property tax bills due to technical issues, as well as postal delivery delays caused by system upgrades in the Indian Postal Department. As a result, many property owners received their bills with less than three months to make the payment.

Recognizing the inconvenience, the BMC decided to extend the deadline to ensure citizens are not unfairly penalized for reasons beyond their control.

New Deadlines (Ward-Wise)

• For wards A, B, C, D, E, F-South, F-North, G-South, G-North, H-East, H-West, K-West, P-South, P-North, R-South, R-Central, M-East, and M-West:
  New deadline – November 15, 2025
• For wards K-East, R-North, L, N, S, and T:
  New deadline – December 1, 2025

What This Means for Property Owners

This extension gives property owners more breathing room to settle their dues without facing immediate penalties. However, the BMC has urged everyone to clear their outstanding bills within the revised timelines to avoid fines and interest on overdue payments.

Why Timely Payments Still Matter

While the extension is a welcome relief, property tax is one of the key sources of revenue for the BMC. It funds essential civic services such as road maintenance, waste management, water supply, and infrastructure projects. Timely payments help keep these services running smoothly across the city.

Final Word

If you’re a property owner in Mumbai, check which ward your property falls under and note the revised deadline. Use this additional time wisely and make your payments promptly to avoid last-minute rushes and penalties.

✅ Tip: Keep digital payment options in mind – online payments via the BMC portal are quicker, easier, and save you a trip to the ward office.
