The recent exclusion of Uruli Devachi and Fursungi from the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits has sparked concerns over property tax rates and outstanding arrears in these areas. With around 75,000 properties affected by this change, residents are eagerly awaiting information on future tax rates and how unresolved arrears will be handled.
When Uruli Devachi and Fursungi were brought into the PMC in 2017, property tax rates gradually increased, reaching full PMC rates by 2023 with a 20% annual increase. However, the current tax demand for 2024-25 stands at ₹136.86 crore for Uruli Devachi and ₹254.55 crore for Fursungi, with only a fraction of these amounts recovered so far.
The question of how the recovered funds and outstanding arrears will be managed remains a point of contention, with residents hoping for a more favorable approach to property taxation under the new municipal councils. The transfer of tax data from the PMC to the new councils and clarity on the handling of arrears are crucial factors in this transition process.
As discussions continue between the PMC and the new municipal councils, residents will be looking for answers on property tax rates and financial implications in the new setup. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation in Uruli Devachi and Fursungi.
