Hey there, folks! Exciting news coming your way from the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). Last year, they gave away some pretty cool prizes through a lottery – we’re talking a four-wheeler, e-bike, bicycle, laptop, and mobile phone. And guess what? They’re planning to do it all over again this year!
The scheme last year was a big hit, targeting taxpayers who paid up in full between April and May. It really helped boost PMC’s revenue. This year, they’re looking to extend the scheme until December 2024. However, they’ll hold off on implementing it until after the assembly elections.
In the last financial year, PMC raked in about ₹1,625 crores in property tax. Their target for this year? A whopping ₹2,400 crores. That’s a big jump from the ₹1,385 crores they collected the year before. The increase is partly due to taxes from newly included villages and 78 new taxable properties.
But here’s the kicker – PMC is facing some challenges with defaulters. To meet their financial goals, they’re planning to introduce a new lottery scheme to encourage people to pay their taxes by March 2025. So, keep an eye out for more details on how you can win big just by paying your taxes on time!
