How to Identify SAS ID and Other SAS Details on Your BBMP Property Tax Receipt
Follow these steps using the receipt shown Below:
1.Check the top section of the receipt first
At the top of the BBMP property tax receipt, you will see the field labelled “Application No.” This number is the SAS Base Application Number, commonly referred to as the SAS ID.
2.Identify the SAS ID (Application Number)
The Application Number (for example: 230XXXXXXXX) is the permanent SAS ID for the property. This number remains the same across years unless the property is re-assessed and is used for tax payment, record search, and verification.
3.Locate the Receipt Number separately
Below the Application Number, you will find a field called “Receipt No.” This is not the SAS ID. It is generated only for that specific payment and changes every time property tax is paid.
4. Understand the difference clearly
- SAS ID / Application Number → Identifies the property for all BBMP tax records
- Receipt Number → Confirms that a particular payment was made
5.Use the correct number for future reference
Always use the Application Number (SAS ID) when:
- Paying BBMP property tax
- Searching records on the BBMP portal
- Downloading previous tax receipts
Use the Receipt Number only as proof of payment.
Important: If you are asked for “SAS ID,” never share the receipt number. Always provide the Application Number.
