  "summary": "The Thane Stamp Duty and Registration Department has flagged 642 building permission certificates issued by the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) for verification due to potential unpaid stamp duty and penalties. This issue arose after the department sent a letter to the MBMC Commissioner on November 12, stating that development permission certificates for these buildings had not been submitted for stamp duty assessment and verification since February 2021. The department has requested the MBMC to examine records, verify the proper stamping of relevant documents, and ensure that applicable stamp duty and penalties have been recovered. The MBMC has been directed to instruct its Assistant Director of Town Planning to scrutinise the cases and submit the necessary records, including details of development rights transfers, property ownership transfers, and redevelopment transactions.",
