Pune Property Tax

Property tax is the second-largest source of revenue in Pune. Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is a Municipal Corporation in the city of Pimpri-Chinchwad which is the Urban Agglomeration of Pune.It is the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) or Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) [based on the location of property], that assesses a property to give it a value and levy tax on a person’s real or personal property in Pune. PMC is serving its citizens since 1950 and property tax is the second largest revenue to next to Octroi to the PMC.

In order to automate the entire property tax assessment process and to boost its revenue, the PMC in September 2016 started carrying out geo-tagging of properties in its jurisdiction along with identifying unauthorised and illegal properties by using Geographic Information System (GIS). The exercise includes verifying existing size of the property, mentioning information of owner of property, clicking photographs of the properties and their documents etc. PMC covers more than 8 lakh properties in its purview.

Out of the few properties have been mapped using the GIS technology and is expected to Map all properties soon. This leads to significant increase in the revenue for PMC as it enables identifying defaulters easily. Property tax is applicable to all properties and vacant lands within Municipal corporation limits. Property tax is assessed on the basis of carpet area of the building/property. PMC follows capital value-based system for property tax calculation.
