https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305194 Property tax recoverable from a tenant under Section 67(3) of the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994 does not become part of rent for purposes of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, because Section 7(2) of that Act expressly bars treating tax on building or land as rent. The rent control statute operates as the special law governing landlord-tenant eviction and contains an exhaustive scheme protecting tenants except on specified grounds. The municipal recovery provision only permits recovery as if it were rent and does not override the statutory prohibition or defeat rent control protection. Non-payment of such recoverable tax therefore cannot, by itself, justify eviction outside the Rent Control Act. en-us Wed, 06 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 09:01:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305194 Property tax recoverable from a tenant under Section 67(3) of the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994 does not become part of rent for purposes of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, because Section 7(2) of that Act expressly bars treating tax on building or land as rent.
