Pune: PMC’s Aggressive Property Tax Recovery Drive Yields Over ₹9 Crores in 3 Days
Pune, December 06, 2024: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has intensified its property tax recovery efforts to meet its fiscal year 2024-25 revenue targets. The Property Tax Department launched a dedicated recovery drive on December 2, 2024, deploying specialized teams with band squads across its 15 regional offices.
Over a three-day period, from December 2 to December 4, the teams visited 154 defaulting properties, recovering an impressive ₹9,00,22,612 (Nine Crores Twenty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Twelve) in outstanding dues. As part of enforcement measures, 19 properties were sealed to ensure compliance.
Current Property Tax Scenario
PMC manages approximately 14.8 lakh properties in Pune. Out of these, 8,73,257 property owners have cleared their dues, contributing ₹1,798 crore to the municipal revenue. However, a significant portion remains unpaid, prompting PMC to continue its large-scale recovery operations.
Call to Action
The PMC has urged property owners with pending taxes to settle their dues immediately to avoid stringent actions, including property sealing. The timely payment of property taxes not only aids the city’s development but also prevents legal complications for defaulters.
