Pimpri, November 7, 2025: Digital payments have clearly become the preferred mode for property tax payment in Pimpri Chinchwad, marking a major behavioural shift among citizens.
Of the 4.77 lakh property owners who have paid their taxes so far this financial year, an impressive 3.93 lakh taxpayers—more than 82%—chose to pay through PCMC’s online system.
From April 1 to November 6, 2025, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has collected Rs 631.66 crore in property tax, of which Rs 515 crore came through online transactions alone.
The civic body attributes this success to its simplified digital interface, continuous awareness campaigns, and trust built through transparent systems.
Over the past few years, PCMC has upgraded its digital infrastructure under its “Pay Tax Online” initiative, combining technology with citizen outreach. Awareness efforts through SMS updates, social media posts, and public announcements encouraged property owners to switch to online payments instead of visiting ward offices.
The online portal offers easy access to property details, pending dues, receipts, and rebate information, enabling citizens to complete the entire process securely from home.
