MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will form flying squads to check whether new buildings have followed the mandate of having a rain water harvesting plant.
In order to boost the compliance rate of buildings, the BMC has decided to give a rebate of 5 per cent in property tax to societies that have followed the mandate laid down by the BMC since 2002.
