A flat owner in Whitefield, Bengaluru had been postponing his BBMP property tax for two years. Penalty was adding up — 2% per month.
His colleague told him: “Pay before May 31 — you get 5% rebate on current year. And previous dues — pay separately.”
He opened bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in. Entered his PID number. Saw the outstanding amount. Paid current year’s tax — 5% rebate applied.
₹4,200 saved on rebate. Penalty stopped from next month.

PID, AP Number, SAS Number — What’s the Difference?
This is the most confusing part — and almost no competitor explains it clearly:
| PID Number | AP Number | SAS Application Number | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Form | Property Identification Number | Application Number | Self-Assessment Scheme Number |
| Who has it | Properties surveyed by BBMP GIS | Properties with BBMP records | Self-assessed properties (older) |
| Where to find | Previous receipt, Khata, GIS portal | Previous receipt, property documents | Previous SAS receipt |
| Use on portal | Primary search | Alternative search | Alternative search |
⚡ Use any ONE of these on the portal — whichever you have. PID is most common for newer properties.
