PUNE: The civic body’s standing committee on Tuesday decided to extend the amnesty scheme for property tax defaulters by one month.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had introduced the amnesty scheme for property tax defaulters. 75% waiver on the penalty will be given to defaulters if they pay the levy under this initiative. Any property owner, who’s dues are up to Rs1crore can participate in this initiative. At the time of its introduction, commercial properties could benefit from the scheme, but the proposal was revised before its implementation and only residential properties can now avail of the benefit.
