Shah Rukh Khan to receive ₹9 crore refund from Maharashtra Government for excess premium paid on Mannat lease conversion.
The Maharashtra Government would be refunding Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan ₹9 crore that he had paid in excess to convert the lease of his sea-facing bungalow ’Mannat’.
Resident suburban collector Satish Bagal said on Saturday (January 25, 2025) that in 2019, Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan converted the lease of the heritage property in Bandra to ‘class 1 complete ownership’, and paid the government some premium for it.
After discovering a tabulation error based on which the premium was calculated, the Khans applied to the revenue authority for refund which was sanctioned earlier this week, he said.
The actor had reportedly paid upwards of Rs 25 crore in premium, but officials did not confirm the figure immediately.
In response to all these issues, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has launched a series of initiatives aimed at addressing the root causes of conflict. Among them is a campaign to promote animal rights awareness in schools and campaigns for the wider public. As part of this effort, BBMP has also finetuned its animal grievance helpline and is setting up animal rescue centres across the city. These centres are the first of their kind in Karnataka.
