As per the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCR), under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act or gram panchayat, integrated townships falling under these categories will get a rebate of 66% on the property tax as they provide amenities, utilities and infrastructure such as road, street lights, sewerage treatment plant, solid waste management, garden, transport, etc.
This decision will benefit over 26,000 homeowners in the township who until now were paying double tax– to the Palava City Management Association (PCMA) and the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC).
