207

Before you seal the deal on a property, make sure it’s not carrying hidden financial baggage. Here's what to check:

House/Property Tax

  • What it is: Annual tax paid to the local municipal body (e.g., GHMC in Hyderabad)

  • Covers: Civic services like roads, drainage, lighting, garbage collection

  • Impact: Unpaid dues can lead to penalties or even legal notices

  • How to check: Visit the local municipal website or office with the property’s door number or assessment number

Water Dues

  • What it is: Charges for water supply and sewerage services

  • Impact: Unpaid bills can result in disconnection or transfer delays

  • How to check: Contact the local water board (e.g., HMWSSB in Hyderabad) with the property ID

Other Dues to Watch:

  • Electricity Bills: Ensure no pending bills with the local electricity board

  • Maintenance Charges: For gated communities or apartments—check with the association

  • Betterment Charges: Sometimes levied by municipalities for infrastructure upgrades

  • Development Fees: Especially in newly regularized layouts or plotted developments

Legal Impact of Unpaid Dues:

  • Can delay registration or mutation

  • May lead to legal disputes or auction by authorities

  • Banks may reject loan applications if dues are pending

  • Clean dues = smooth ownership transfer and peace of mind
