Thank you all for your pointers. Indeed I took some efforts to meet Mahadevpura RO. His take was that apartments must not be mentioned in the Zonal documents. It is a mistake that our apartment mentioned and is falling under Zone F, as per him its Zone E. The Zone classification is based on main roads. He said if we go as per the document then BBMP will slap a penalty later since our apartment guidance value has increased, hence its Zone E. If all our apartment owners shift from Zone F (which is official released document) to Zone E then the delta amount BBMP gains is overall around 4 Lakhs. Overall I am not convinced by AROs/ROs verbal communication, when asked if he can give in writing, he played safe saying "RO can only give information, he cannot guide or mis-guide you".
BTW now all the property tax related documents are uploaded to BBMP online link including the handbook. I wish Forms were also a part of this ..:)) http://bmponline.org/propertytax/recent%20amendments.shtml I will contact the Jt.Commissioner mentioned by Mr.T.Vidyadhar. Thanks once again.
