Summary:
Though we do get people coming forward to clear their dues, their property tax doesn't amount to a large amount. However, there has been poor recovery in zone 1, 7 and 3.In-charge ward officer Mukund Kulkarni credits the poor tax recovery to the socio-economic status of the communities residing in the zone. Unlike other zone offices, the tent at zone 3 office is being used to park vehicles. This zone is also at the bottom of tax recovery target as compared to its counterparts.Considering its poor financial condition and poor tax recovery, the AMC had announced a week-long tax collection and property regularisation drive from Monday. The drive is aimed at encouraging defaulters of property and water tax to clear their dues.The AMC has also offered 75% discount on the late fee for property tax filing to increase the collection..
