Pune: PCMC Seals 153 Properties For Tax Default
Pimpri-Chinchwad, 17th October 2022: As many as 153 properties, including 40 residential apartments, have been sealed by the property tax division of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) for being in arrears with payments for more than a year.
Nilesh Deshmukh, Assistant Municipal Commissioner, stated that if a property owner does not pay the back tax within 21 days, the property will be sold at auction. The properties have been sealed by the property tax division of PCMC for failing to make timely tax payments for more than a year. Assets were confiscated and Rs three crore was recovered in unpaid taxes.
Deshmukh said, “After we started sealing the properties, some of the property owners came forward and paid Rs 3.58 crore tax dues. We request defaulters to pay their tax and avoid civic action against their properties.” He further added, “After their properties are sealed, some property owners rush forth to clear dues, but many do not. In such cases, we have no option but to auction their properties.”
