PMC Pune provide Concessions in Property Tax for Women
The General Body (GB) of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on Wednesday approved the proposal to grant concession to women property owners. “This proposal could be implemented by the PMC from next financial year as the civic body is authorized to grant such concessions as per the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations (BPMC) Act, 1949,” said PMC tax department chief Vilas Kanade.
Meanwhile, the civic administration stated that the proposal to provide concessions in property tax payments for ex-servicemen in the city is pending with the state government for approval. “The state had asked for some clarification on the proposal and soon this proposal will get approval,” said Kanade.
A proposal to grant five per cent concession in general tax of the property tax to women who have properties registered in their names will be implemented from the next financial year – 2012-13. However the civic administration clarified that there would be some technical difficulties in implementing the decision from this year itself as this year’s budget is already approved.
Following the example of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, the PMC standing committee in March had approved a proposal to grant five per cent concession. All party corporators demanded that the PMC should implement this proposal without any delay.
