What is Pune Property Tax 2025?
Property Tax in Pune is an annual tax levied by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Defaulting on payments can lead to penalties, and in extreme cases, PMC may even auction the property to recover dues.
For the financial year 2024-25, PMC collected ₹2,350 crore in property tax. Timely payment ensures you avoid penalties and benefit from discounts like the 40% rebate for self-occupied properties.
Update: PMC Fails to Reflect 40% Rebate on 2025–26 Property Tax Bills
Despite PMC’s assurance, the 40% rebate is missing from 2025-26 tax bills. Civic activist Vivek Velankar highlighted this discrepancy, causing confusion among taxpayers.
What should you do?
- Verify your bill for the rebate.
- If missing, contact your ward office or PMC’s Property Tax Department.
- Ensure the rebate is applied before payment.
