The Satna Municipal Corporation has served notices to nearly 6,000 taxpayers who owe more than ₹50,000 each, demanding payment of a total ₹54.83 crore within 15 days or face seizure and auction of their properties.
Satna Municipal Corporation has issued formal notices to close to six thousand property‑tax defaulters, each of whom owes more than ₹50,000. The combined arrears amount to ₹54.83 crore, according to the corporation’s latest statement.
The notice gives the taxpayers a strict fifteen‑day window to clear their dues. Failure to comply will trigger the sealing of the properties followed by auction, as per municipal regulations.
Municipal officials said the move is aimed at strengthening the city’s revenue base and ensuring equitable tax compliance. They urged the affected owners to settle the amounts promptly to avoid legal action and loss of assets.
The deadline underscores the corporation’s intent to enforce fiscal discipline, while also providing a clear timeline for taxpayers to regularise their accounts before any punitive measures are taken.
