Pimpri chinchwad | The Tax Assessment and Tax Collection Department of Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has undertaken a seizure campaign to recover property tax arrears from defaulters.

A total of 699 defaulters with arrears above ₹5 lakhs have been identified in the city. The total arrears owed by them amount to ₹96 crores. To recover these dues, special teams have been formed office-wise, and if some defaulters still fail to pay despite repeated notices, direct property seizure action will be executed.

The Corporation has made repeated appeals to citizens for timely tax payment. Special concessions were also offered on property tax in the first and second quarters. However, since some big defaulters have still not paid, in the first phase, direct seizure action will be initiated against defaulters above ₹5 lakhs.
