PMC Proposes 10% Property Tax Hike
The Pune Municipal Corporation wants to increase property taxes by 10% because they are spending more money than they are earning.
Some people in the city government disagree and say the administration should find other ways to make more money instead of raising taxes.
The final decision will be made by February 20.
PMC proposes 10% property tax hike due to rising civic costs and stagnant revenue.
Increased capital expenditure and maintenance costs strain PMC's finances.
Proposal awaits approval from the Standing Committee and general body meeting.
Opposition leaders argue for tax collection reforms instead of a tax hike.
Decision deadline is February 20, with the new ruling party set to take charge after mayoral elections.
