Pune launches all-woman team for property tax recovery

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has launched an all-woman team, the Damini Squad, to enhance property tax recovery. Twelve squads, each with five members, have been formed. In four days, they collected over Rs 1 crore. PMC aims to recover around Rs 3,000 crore this year, as overall property tax dues reach Rs 10,000 crore. The annual target for 2024-25 is set at Rs 2,500 crore, with property tax being a major income source. Challenges include recovering taxes from mobile towers, with over 3,000 in the city. Activists support the new squad but urge focus on large defaulters, criticizing amnesty schemes for undermining diligent taxpayers.
