You can obtain a copy of the PT1 for your property from the Excise and Taxation Office of your district. The application to obtain the copy is addressed to the Excise and Taxation Officer of the district. However, the Excise and Taxation Officer is not the person who will hand you the copy of the PT1, because the record pertaining to your property is in custody of the clerk or the inspector in charge of your ward, circle, or block. Generally, a clerk makes a copy of the record PT1 for delivery to you.
The following is a simplified outline of the procedure to obtain your copy of the PT1:
1. Write an application to the Excise and Taxation Officer on plain paper. The application should clearly show the property number, ward, block, or circle, and locality where the property is located. You may also fill up a standard application form, which can be obtained from the stamp vendors sitting outside the Excise and Taxation Office, or from the Excise and Taxation Office itself;
2. Affix a court fee of Rs 20 to the application;
3. Submit the application to the Excise and Taxation Office;
4. Obtain your copy of the PT1 the next day, i.e., after one day.
Note that your application may be rejected if tax has not been paid on your property, or for various other reasons. In addition, the copy you receive may lack the necessary amendments and thus not be useful to you. In such a case, you will have to submit an application for amendment of the record PT1 before applying for another copy. Processing of an application for amendment of the record PT1 takes more than two weeks, due to required verifications and confirmations. Once you have got the record PT1 amended, the procedure to obtain a copy is as simple as above.
One important point to note is that, while the court fee for obtaining a copy of the PT1 is only Rs 20, the property tax on the property may be much higher – even several hundred thousand rupees for a large property such as a plaza – and you may have to pay the tax before obtaining your copy of the PT1!

The Excise and Taxation Office is not accepting the property number I have stated on my application for a PT1. Why not?
The Excise and Taxation Department uses its own numbering system to identify properties and the associated property tax. It does not have information on numbering systems used by other organizations and departments. For example, a housing society uses its own plot numbering to develop and sell plots. The numbers used by the housing society may or may not coincide with the numbers allotted by the Excise and Taxation Department. You will have to use the Excise and Taxation property number when obtaining your copy of the PT1.
The Excise and Taxation Department marks its property number in red on the properties in each rating area. Therefore, you may find the red number marked on your property and use this in your application.
