According to NMMC, the Property Identity Card will benefit over 3.5 lakh property owners in the city, allowing them to access information such as property number, address, area, and tax details in one place, similar to a PAN card. Property identification cards were distributed to five property owners by Shinde at a function recently. The card enables property owners to view property tax arrears and advance tax amounts, and allows them to make payments directly at civic utility centres by presenting the card.
Additionally, online tax payment is facilitated by scanning the QR code on the Property Identity Card, which can also serve as an official property identity, similar to an Aadhaar card, said Shinde. This initiative will streamline property sale and transfer processes, saving property owners time, effort, and expense in contacting the Property Tax Department, said an official. For the convenience of the tech-savvy citizens of Navi Mumbai, which is also known as the city of the educated lot, Shinde is focusing on maximum digitalisation and in that regard, this important property identity card initiative will increase transparency and efficiency in the property tax department.
Being the first municipal corporation in the country to provide 'Property Identity Cards' to its citizens is another feather in the cap of Navi Mumbai. A thorough survey was conducted across the city to gather information and verify the identity of property holders which followed the preparation of such cards, said Shinde. Self-help groups were engaged to visit door to door during a survey to collect information about property owners who also started distributing property tax bills.
The Property Identity Card is a significant step towards modernizing property management in Navi Mumbai. It not only simplifies the process for property owners but also enhances the accountability and efficiency of the municipal corporation. This initiative is expected to set a benchmark for other cities and municipalities in India to follow.
