Pimpri, February 4, 2026:
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has recorded a strong performance in property tax collection, recovering ₹702.73 crore during the current financial year 2025–26. The amount was collected between April 1, 2025 and February 2, 2026 by the Tax Assessment and Collection Department. With two months remaining in the fiscal year, the civic body has launched an intensive drive to further boost collections and has appealed to property owners who are yet to pay their dues to do so at the earliest.
According to PCMC officials, the department has effectively leveraged modern technology to streamline the tax collection process this year. Online payment systems and multiple digital platforms were made available to facilitate easy and timely payments by citizens. Regular follow-ups through SMS alerts, notices, and personal visits have also helped accelerate the pace of recovery.

Officials Credit Planning and Citizen Participation
Commenting on the achievement, Additional Municipal Commissioner Trupti Sandbhor said that systematic planning by the department, increased public participation, and incentives for timely payment have resulted in a significant rise in property tax collection this year. “This recovery is not just a financial figure but a reflection of citizens’ sense of responsibility towards the city’s development. Remaining property owners should also contribute by paying their dues on time,” she said.
Deputy Commissioner Sachin Pawar said that online facilities, public awareness campaigns, and strict action against defaulters have played a key role in crossing the ₹700 crore mark. He urged citizens who have not yet paid their property tax to do so immediately to avoid further action by the municipal corporation.
