“Public response to PCMC’s tax collection drive has been encouraging, yet a significant amount of dues remains unpaid. Timely property tax payment is crucial for strengthening city infrastructure and ensuring overall development. Property owners who have not paid their dues must do so immediately. Attachment action will be taken against those who continue to remain in arrears,” said Pankaj Patil, Deputy Commissioner, PCMC.
PCMC has been consistently encouraging citizens to complete their tax payments in a timely manner. A citywide awareness drive was launched at the beginning of the 2025–26 fiscal year to support this initiative. The civic body also announced various early-payment rebates, which many property owners availed. As a result, over 4 lakh out of the 7.32 lakh assessed properties in Pimpri Chinchwad have already paid their tax, contributing Rs 639 crore between April 1 and November 16, 2025.
To further boost tax recovery, PCMC’s Property Tax Department has intensified its enforcement measures. Notices have been issued to defaulters, and teams across all 18 zonal offices are carrying out attachment proceedings on defaulting properties as part of the ongoing recovery campaign.
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is a local self-government body responsible for the administration and development of the Pimpri Chinchwad area in Maharashtra, India. PCMC plays a crucial role in urban planning, infrastructure development, and the provision of public services to the residents of Pimpri Chinchwad.
