- PMC to survey properties with tax rebates for eco-friendly installations
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced its plans to conduct surveys on properties that are receiving a 5-10% tax rebate for installing solar power, rainwater harvesting, and vermiculture projects. The civic body suspects that many of these properties may not actually have functional eco-friendly facilities but are still claiming tax rebates.
- BJP and Shiv Sena leaders criticize PMC’s move
In response to the PMC’s decision, BJP leader Ujwal Keskar, Suhas Joshi, and Shiv Sena leader Prashant Badhe have criticized the move, deeming it as "unjust." They argue that rather than inspecting properties with tax rebates, the PMC should focus on recovering dues from defaulters to generate more revenue.
- Keskar urges PMC to prioritize recovering dues from defaulters
Keskar expressed his concerns to the media, stating, "Our request to the Property Tax department is to deploy their workforce to recover dues from defaulters instead of reviewing properties with tax rebates." The decision by the PMC to backtrack on cutting water supply to tax defaulters has sparked doubts about the civic body’s ability to effectively recover pending dues and manage its finances.
It seems like the PMC’s decision has sparked quite a debate among political leaders and residents alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
