Yep that’s a fair point, the tax burden in India in general is pretty skewed, however worth noting that Mumbai pays a fairly significant amount of it (especially when factoring in indirect and non income taxes). Iirc BMC’s budget is very directly from taxes (very little/no loans or other handouts, though I could be wrong about this). (Edit: quick googling shows property tax to be the biggest current revenue stream since octroi has gone away after the introduction of a national GST.)
