Hey Punekars, listen up! The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is on a mission to collect long-overdue property taxes from defaulters, and they mean business. In just 18 days, they’ve seized a whopping 75 properties and managed to rake in a jaw-dropping Rs 40.68 crore from 317 property owners. That’s some serious cash!
But here’s the kicker – the PMC still has a massive gap of Rs 900 crore to fill within the next three months. Talk about a tall order! To speed up the process, they’re pulling out all the stops. They’re even resorting to playing bands at the doorsteps of tax dodgers. Now that’s a bold move!
And if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also started locking and sealing properties within the jurisdiction of their 15 regional offices. It’s like a real-life game of Monopoly, but with real consequences. The message is loud and clear – pay up or face the consequences.
Deputy Commissioner of the Property Tax Department, Madhav Jagtap, spilled the beans on the whole operation. He mentioned that they’ve already managed to collect Rs 40.68 crore from 317 defaulters. That’s no small feat! And with 14.8 lakh property owners in the city, the pressure is on to get everyone to cough up their dues.
So, if you’re one of the lucky ones who’ve already paid up, pat yourself on the back. But if you’re among the six lakh property owners who still owe money, now’s the time to act. The PMC is watching, and they’re not messing around. Pay up, folks, and save yourself from the embarrassment of having your property seized. Let’s all do our part and keep Pune running smoothly.
