PCMC provides relief to its citizens by extending the deadline for paying the PCMC property tax of this financial year, to August 31,2021. This respite will aid citizens with tax benefits upon paying the entire tax amount in full before the deadline.

This is the second consecutive time the PCMC property tax deadline has been extended with the previous ones being June 30, 2021 and July 31, 2021 respectively.

August 2, 2021:

After the authority announced that 23 villages would be incorporated into the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits, on June 30, 2021, the municipal body might hike property taxes. Residents of these villages in Pune, with over 1,90,000 properties, will have to pay 35%-40% over and above the existing property taxes, according to the new proposal.

With the inclusion of these villages in the PMC limits, new taxes like water tax, land tax, municipal tax, general tax, tree conservation tax, fire tax, road tax and education, etc., will be included in the overall property tax liability. According to media reports, villages of Narhe, Manjri Budruk and Wagholi have the highest number of new tax payees.

June 2, 2021:

In a recent announcement, the PMC has extended the rebate for property tax payers till June 30, 2021. Under the rebate scheme, all property tax payers are eligible to get a 15% discount on their tax bill. Earlier, the scheme was valid till May 31, 2021. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the civic body decided to extend the scheme for a month.

In a bid to automate the entire property tax assessment process, the PMC began geo-tagging properties all over the city. In July 2017, it was reported that of the eight lakh properties under its purview, 2.5 lakh had been mapped, using the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. All properties were expected to be mapped, by January 2018. This exercise is expected to help the PMC to quickly identify unassessed and illegal properties and defaulters who have not paid their property tax and in turn, significantly increase the revenue for the municipal body.

In its annual budget proposal for 2017-2018, the PMC introduced a new initiative to encourage the timely payment of property taxes. According to the proposal, all regular payers of property tax, with no gap in payment years or outstanding payments, would be eligible to receive a Rs 5-lakh accident claim insurance from the PMC. This scheme is also expected to encourage slum residents to pay their ‘seva kar’ tax.

In April 2017, the civic body also announced a discount in property tax. Property owners who paid their tax by the end of May, could avail of a 10% discount on an amount below Rs 25,000 and 5% discount for amounts over Rs 25,000. It also offered an additional 2% discount, for making the payment online, on the PMC’s website.
