Activists slam PMC over proposed 12 per cent hike in property tax

Pune | Monday | 4th February, 2019

Summary:

Northeast Pune still suffers abysmal water supply, if at all. Advertising“The PMC should take citizens into confidence and explain the reasons for increase in the tax. It should avoid burdening citizens any further,” the Association said in a letter sent to PMC Commissioner Saurav Rao. The Association of Nagar Road Citizens Forums has opposed the PMC proposal to increase property tax by 12 per cent in the 2019-2020 Budget, on the grounds that the proposal is arbitrary and unilateral. The PMC is lax on collection of property tax in comparison to budget target figures..
