TMC Commissioner Pushes Aggressive Tax Recovery Drive for City
The Thane city government held a big meeting to talk about money.
The boss, Commissioner Saurabh Rao, asked all the department heads to collect more taxes from people who owe money.
He said they should set clear goals for each neighborhood and meet them quickly.
The meeting also looked at how much money the city had earned last year, how many people still owe taxes, and buildings that were built without permission.
Rao told everyone to use computers and more workers to make the process faster and to work together so no one gets stuck.
The goal is to make sure the city has enough money to keep running smoothly.
TMC Commissioner Saurabh Rao convened a high‑level review to boost revenue and recover tax arrears.
He directed all department heads to set and meet ward‑level property‑tax targets within set timelines.
The meeting reviewed fiscal performance, pending defaulters, unassessed properties, and unauthorized constructions.
Rao emphasized digital tools, expanded manpower, and inter‑departmental coordination to eliminate bottlenecks.
Officials were instructed to prepare ward‑specific action plans and conduct routine performance assessments.
