PUNE: Municipal commissioner Vikram Kumar on Monday presented the draft civic budget of Rs8,592 crore for the 2022-23 financial year, increasing it by Rs942 crore from his 2021-2022 budget of Rs7,650 crore.
Though the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) key revenue source — building permission — may not perform as well as the ongoing fiscal, the civic body is banking on revenue from property tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST). “Taxes from the newly merged villages will also help us. Good revenue is expected from tax on cellphone towers, which is currently in a legal tangle. The state government will provide us with the GST share, which will be more compared to this fiscal,” Kumar said.
