Self-occupied properties falling under the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) jurisdiction can avail 40% rebate on the PMC Property Tax. Introduced around 50 years back, this rebate was discontinued in 2019 only to be reinstated in 2023. In this guide, know steps to follow to get a 40% discount on property tax Pune in 2025.
What is Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Property Tax?
Property Tax Pune is an annual tax that a property owner has to pay to the Pune Municipal Corporation irrespective of the type of property- residential, commercial or industrial he owns. According to law, one cannot default on payment of the Property Tax Pune Corporation. Initial defaults may lead to penalties and if not taken seriously, the PMC has the authority to attach and auction the property.
The PMC sent property tax bills for FY 2025-26 to all property owners through Indian Post. Also, the PMC Property Tax bills can be downloaded from the PMC website. To encourage people to pay advance tax, the PMC also offered a rebate of 10% and 5% for paying property tax by May 31, 2025, which was later extended till July 7, 2025.
Residents are advised to verify their property tax bills carefully. If the 40% rebate is not indicated, they should contact their local ward office or the PMC’s property tax department to seek clarification and ensure the rebate is applied. A simple measure suggested by most people was to highlight in the property tax bill if the owner was eligible for the rebate or not.

Open your property tax Pune bill and see the footnote in red. It will read आपल्याकडून प्राप्त PT-3 अर्जानुसार दिलेल्या 40% सवलतीची एकूण रक्कम xxxxx/- आहे. meaning the total amount of 40% discount given as per PT-3 application received from you is xxxxx/-.
Why is Pune Municipal Corporation granting 40% rebate on property tax?
The Maharashtra government in 1970 had passed a resolution granting 40% property tax Pune discount to self-occupied residential properties. This was implemented because of the damages to properties due to flooding of Mutha River caused by the Khadakwasla Dam burst, Pune’s biggest disaster. However, this rebate on house tax Pune was discontinued in 2019.
Addressing several petitions, the Maharashtra State Legislative Assembly on August 3, 2024, passed a Bill allowing the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to continue giving 40% discount on property tax Pune for self-occupied residential properties.
“I have two houses in Pune- one in Aundh falling under the PMC and one in Sangvi that falls under the PCMC. The 40% rebate on the PMC self-occupied property is a real advantage as this is the property that also asks for larger property tax. With this discount, I am able to offset a bigger portion of the property tax cost to be paid to the PMC. Therefore, I am saving more on a property that would otherwise be a financially demanding property tax wise. In this case, the rebate functions gives a bit of financial breathing room, especially considering how the general property taxes are levied. What is icing on the cake is that the PCMC Property Tax is comparatively lower. Hence, I get a double benefit—one from the rebate and the other from the small property tax bill,” says Kapil Kumar, a resident of Aundh Pune.

Paying the PMC Property Tax is mandatory. However, property owners who have self-occupied properties can make use of the 40% rebate offered by the PMC. This will substantially reduce the money that a property owner and occupier has to pay even while enjoying the benefits offered by the Pune local municipal body in the form of developments in the city. PMC is one of the few municipal bodies in Maharashtra or the country to give away a 40% rebate on property tax on self-occupied houses every year. Making use of this, one should not default on the Pune Property Tax and be party to paying penalty.
