The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation erected flex boards mentioning the names of top property tax defaulters of circle 8 and 9 at prime locations in the twin cities here Thursday.

Names of the defaulters, along with their property tax index number (PTIN), house number, locality name and the outstanding amount, have been displayed at various public places.

Even government departments, such as Andhra Pradesh tourism, found a place in the list.

Offials warned the defaulters and said their movable properties would be attached as per the provisions of the corporation act if they failed to pay the property tax before March 31.

Earlier, the civic body officials had listed out the names of top defaulters on its website, but withdrew the list within few days following pressure, apparently from influential people.

The GHMC is contemplating putting up similar flex boards in other circles in the next few days.
