Targeting arrears in property taxes, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s (PCMC) Taxation and Tax Collection Department conducted a seizure drive on Wednesday morning, December 13. During the operation, numerous properties in Thergaon were taken and sealed.
Speaking to Pune Pulse, Nilesh Deshmukh, Assistant Commissioner, PCMC Tax Department, said “Our team had seized several properties in Thergaon on Wednesday (13th December). Property owners are advised to pay their property tax completely before their property is seized because this action will intensify.”
As per further information, in spite of having previously sent pre-seizure notices to the relevant property owners for failure to pay overdue taxes, the department acted decisively on Wednesday. As part of a campaign, the enforcement is being carried out, and the authorities have declared that the intense drive will continue until the end of March 2024.
PCMC Tax officials along with several officers of Maharashtra Security Force participated & provided support for the operation.
Earlier in October 2023, the tax collection department of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has achieved remarkable success in collecting taxes over the past two years –
