Alright folks, buckle up because the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is cracking down on property tax defaulters with some swift and serious measures. Here’s what you need to know about Phase Two and Phase Three of their property seizure plan:
1. Phase Two: Swift Property Seizure
– A whopping ₹507 crore has already been paid by 3.72 lakh property owners, but there’s still ₹725 crore in back taxes hanging in the balance.
– Partial taxpayers are lagging behind with ₹45.78 crore still owed.
– The current year’s demand has a pending amount of ₹233 crore, with partial payments adding up to ₹84.8 crore.
– Brace yourselves, because 2,022 property owners owe more than ₹5 lakh each, totaling a whopping ₹280.68 crore. Yikes!
– If these debts aren’t cleared within 10 days, PCMC will not hesitate to initiate property seizure. The clock is ticking, folks!
2. Phase Three: Auction of Seized Properties
– For those who still refuse to pay up even after their properties are seized, PCMC will not hold back. They’ve instructed their officers to get those auctions rolling ASAP.
3. Public Shaming for Large Defaulters
– PCMC is pulling out all the stops to shame those big-time defaulters. They’ll be plastering their names all over newspapers and social media.
– But wait, there’s more! Loudspeakers will also be used to publicly announce these defaulters’ names outside their properties before they’re seized. Talk about a wake-up call!
4. Appeal: Pay Dues to Avoid Seizure
– Shekhar Singh, the big boss at PCMC, is pleading with defaulters to cough up their dues within 10 days to avoid the dreaded property seizure and auction. Remember, folks, paying your taxes on time helps the city grow.
5. Priority Seizure for High-Value Defaulters
– Pradeep Jambhale-Patil, the Additional Commissioner, is making it crystal clear that properties with over ₹5 lakh in unpaid taxes are in the hot seat.
– He’s urging property owners to stop ignoring those notices and pay up to dodge the seizure bullet.
6. Action Against Defaulters
– Assistant Commissioner Avinash Shinde is not messing around. PCMC will start listing those pending dues on property documents and will go full throttle with seizures and auctions if those dues aren’t paid. Consider yourselves warned!
Folks, it’s time to face the music and settle those dues before PCMC comes knocking. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
