What is this service?
Locate the PID through the BBMP tax portal's search-by-name or old-application-number route, or through the ward office for legacy records, and confirm it against the property before filing any tax or Khatha application.
Every BBMP service keys off the PID, but owners frequently do not know it - older properties have legacy numbers, receipts get lost, and portals migrated to the 2008-09 SAS numbering. SRCHN.PROPERTY traces the PID from the property address, old receipts or ward records and links it to the current tax account.
