Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (5 source reports)

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has clarified it has not increased property tax rates. Revised demand notices with higher amounts have been sent to owners whose properties were previously under-assessed or incorrectly evaluated. The correction uses GIS mapping and satellite data to determine the actual property area and relevant details. Commissioner G S Sameeran stated on 12 August that the process is a revenue reform exercise, not a tax hike. Owners who believe their revised assessment is wrong can appeal to the zonal deputy commissioner within 15 days of receiving the notice. The corporation says it will resolve such appeals within 30 days.
