Pune: PCMC Urges Property Owners to Pay Taxes to Avoid Penalties

Pimpri, 17th November 2025: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has issued a strong appeal to property owners to clear their pending property tax dues for the ongoing financial year. A 2% monthly penalty has now come into effect on the first-half bill amount for those who have not yet made the payment. The Property Tax and Collection Department has warned that the second-half dues—from October 2025 to March 2026—will also soon attract a similar delay penalty.

“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. The timely payment of property taxes is essential for the corporation to fund and execute various developmental projects and maintain the overall well-being of the community.

Property owners are advised to visit the PCMC website or their nearest zonal office to make their payments and avoid any penalties. For more information, citizens can contact the PCMC helpline or visit their official website.
