Pune: Several house owners in Undri have not received property tax bills for a very long time. Undri was merged into the Pune Municipal Corporation limits in 2019.
Speaking to Vijay Sonni, a flat owner & resident of Nyati Esteban, Undri said, “I haven’t received my property tax bills for a very long time. There might be at least 150 to 200 house owners in Undri who are facing the same issue. Several requests have been made to the PMC Undri Ward Office regarding this but it was of no use. They just keep giving the same type of answers that we have got your request letter. After having a detailed discussion, they will get back to us. But nothing has happened about it. I request the responsible authorities to please resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Jaideep Shivdasani, a flat owner & a resident of Godrej Horizon, Undri said, “Since the inclusion of Undri village under PMC jurisdiction, I haven’t received property tax bills. Numerous letters and requests have been sent to the PMC office, gram panchayat etc. However, nothing has happened about this yet.”
As per information, Undri village was included under Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) jurisdiction in 2017. Still, some house owners are facing such issues till now.
