Thanks for your reply.To visit personally is like asking for a life certificate.PCMC is certainly living in the 19th century.Can a person living in far away places like Delhi come to Pune to get the rebate benefit?When now a days everything is done online,this system of asking people specially women to come personally is rediculous to say the least.Any way thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply.I do not understand why women have to come personally or though somebody to submit the documents for claiming 50% rebate.Why the same cannot be done online?Is the PCMC still living in the 19th century?While giving rebate to women is to be applauded,the matter of convenience is forgotten.If we are living in Delhi,do we have to come all the way to Pune to claim the rebate?How rediculous!

Yes, because she has to present the valid identity proof, address proof and property documents to the PCMC in her name to get 10% tax rebate. She can not apply online to get the rebate.
