Hi everybody!!!
Dou you know about the Ready Reckoner hikes in the areas like Koregaon Park, Shivajinagar, Erandwane and neighboring Pimpri Chinchwad, areas like Pimple Saudagar, Pimple Gaurav, Chinchwad and waked. They have recorded higher RR Rates. The average rise in the rates for Pimpri Chinchwad is 0.67% more when compared to Pune.

Hello Sneha,
Good question. Incase of Non-payment of property tax for first half year 2% fine per month is payable from 1st October. And in case of second half year 2% fine per month is charged starting first January.

2% penalty per month is charged on the outstanding amount. And in case of non-payment of government taxes like Education Cess, Employment Guarantee Tax on Due Dates, Notice fee at 1% is charged.

Hi!
Which space is considered for assessment of Properly Tax, carpet area or built - up area? How Property Tax is calculated?

Pravakar Saxena, Pune

Comment

Good noon Pravakar,
Property tax is calculated on the basis of built-up area of the building or property. And while property tax is calculated we should consider the following points such as built-up area of the property, type of property-residential/non-residential/mixed/miscellaneous/ industrial/open land, annual value of the property/sq-ft in the area where the property is situated, type of construction-simple construction/RCC construction/shedding.

Hi,
I purchased the flat in PCMC area in Feb 2014. Now Property tax invoice is for the year April 2013-2014 and April 2014 - 2015.
Since I purchased the flat in 2014, I should be paying only for 2014-15? I am asked to pay for the period which I did not own the flat.What should I do?

Property tax demand is for the entity "property" and not against the individual who owns/owned. Having said that, you are supposed to pay pro-rata tax for the period flat is in your possession. For the period prior to that, builder has to bear. The same issue happened to me while I bought the flat in PCMC and is not a specific problem to PCMC but prevalent everywhere. Take this with your builder to claim pro-rata tax from him.

Do we need to pay property tax if the completion certificate is not issued?

Nitin, Apartment Resident, Pune

No, it is your builders responsibility to pay property tax if the building is under construction and they didn't get the Completion Certificate. Remember the case of Campa Cola, Mumbai, where builder didn't get completion certificate or Occupancy Certificate. In absence of Completion or Occupancy Certificate, building is consider as illegal and local body can deviate the building anytime.

From city's development point of view it is a good news but at the same time if we think about the slum dwellers's point of view, it's a bad news because PCMC, Pimpri-Chinchwad's dream of becoming a slum-free city received a body blow with the central government directing the civic body to finished the project by March 31. This would mean the dreams of 11000 slum-dwellers' families, who were promised a 270 sq-ft flat each for Rs 50000, will be shattered.

But we shouldn't forget that after a long time Under the Central Government's Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP), PCMC launched a plan to rehabilitate 18000 slum-dwellers' families in 2007 and make Pimpri Chinchwad free of slums. It was a Rs 369-crore project of which the Centre's share was to be 50%, the state government’s 30% and PCMC's 20%. The scheme was to be completed in 2010, but was caught in court litigations.

Hi,
It that the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation's Local Body Tax (LBT) collection has crossed the Rs 900 crore mark for the 1st time since it was introduced 2 years back. The collection for the financial year 2014-15 now stands at Rs 903.2 crores. It is really a good news that people are paying their taxes on time. It will really benefit them as well as the govt.

Hamsika Iyer, Pune

Hi Hamsika,
It happened because the state government had finished octroi and introduced LBT on April 1, 2013. The PCMC had earned Rs 1,094.52 crore as octroi in 2012-13, a year before LBT was introduced.

Hi everybody,
PCMC simplifies online property tax payment mode. It is heard that low property tax collection in 2014-15, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation will make changes in the property tax collection software to enable the property owners to pay their taxes and penalties separately.

Nikhil Kanetkar, Pune

Yes, you got the right information Nikhil,
Even, the civic body is charging twice the property tax as penalty for unauthorized constructions built after January 2008, therefore, the property owners have to pay thrice the property tax annually.

Rajiv Bajaj, Pune

4th March 2015

@Rajiv, It is also heard that owner are willing to pay the property tax but not the unfair penalty. But as per the civic body, they will first collect the penalty and then the property tax and people are not paying either.

Nikhil Kanetkar, Pune

4th March 2015

Do you knw Nikhil,
The target for property tax collection for 2014-15 is Rs 492 crore, however, the department has been able to collect only Rs 250 crore till January 13. This includes Rs 21.25 crore as penalty. There are around 4 lakh properties in the city, of which, 66000 are unauthorized constructions.

One last question. How long does it take to complete Property Tax Assessment? How can I get Property Tax Bill?

Keshavrao Jedhe, Pune

Okey....In case no objection is raised it takes 21 days. If objection is received, it takes 45 days to complete the Property tax Assessment process.

There are 2 ways to get your property tax bill :- 1) the employees of Municipal Corporation distribute the bills at the Property location, 2) you can get it from concerned Ward Office wherein your property is situated. You may also visit Municipal Corporation's website: www.pcmcindia.gov.in e-services Property tax & water tax bill link and download the bill.

Hi Prabha,
Person, Institutes who own / possess land / building within limits of PCMC have to pay property tax. Property Tax is applicable to all properties and open lands within Municipal Corporation limits.
