Speaking to Pune Pulse Vikram Kumar,  PMC Commissioner confirmed and said, ‘The messages sent to the citizens to pay the difference amount of property tax have been sent by mistake. It is a technical error. The citizens need not pay the amount.”

Ganesh Bidkar, former leader of house, Pune Municipal corporation said that they have already approached the deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis with a demand to maintain the concession.

“Commissioner has assured us and we will be holding a meeting in this regard. We will also be filing petition in court against the municipal administration,” Bidkar said.
