Hey Pune folks! Exciting news for property taxpayers in the city – the PMC is bringing back the lottery scheme to reward those who pay their taxes on time. This initiative was a hit last year, with winners taking home prizes like a four-wheeler, e-bike, laptop, and more.
The previous municipal commissioner set aside ₹1 crore in the budget for this scheme, showing the commitment to boosting revenue collection. The Deputy Commissioner of the Taxation Department mentioned that the lottery process will kick off after the assembly elections.
Last year, the scheme targeted taxpayers who paid in full between April and May, bringing in a significant amount of revenue for the PMC. This year, the plan is to extend the scheme until December, but implementation will have to wait until after the elections.
PMC aims to collect ₹2,400 crores in property taxes for the upcoming financial year, with last year’s revenue already showing an increase. However, there are still a high number of defaulters, prompting the use of the lottery scheme to encourage timely payments until March 2025.
So, if you’re a property taxpayer in Pune, make sure to stay updated on the lottery scheme and pay your taxes on time for a chance to win some exciting prizes!
