What is PMC Property Tax?

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) assess property value and levy taxes based on the location of the property.

Since 1950, PMC has relied on property tax as its second-largest revenue source. In 2016, PMC introduced GIS technology to geo-tag properties, identify unauthorised ones, and verify property details. This initiative, covering over 10 lakh properties, has increased revenue by making it easier to identify tax defaulters. Property tax is calculated based on the carpet area, using a capital value-based system.

Exemptions or concessions available on Property Tax Payment

Exemptions:

Properties used for worship, public gatherings, or religious purposes are exempt from property tax under the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) guidelines if they meet specific conditions. These properties must be registered with the charity commissioner as charitable institutes or trusts. This exemption serves several important purposes:

1. Support for Religious Institutions: Properties designated for religious worship, public burials, or cremation are exempt from property tax under the PCMC guidelines if they meet specific criteria. It helps maintain places of worship and community service facilities, ensuring that these vital institutions can operate without the burden of tax payments.

1. Charitable Activities: By registering as charitable trusts or institutes, these properties are required to demonstrate that they are primarily used for charitable activities. This ensures that the benefits of the exemption are directed towards genuine community service rather than for profit-making ventures.

1. Heritage Land: Heritage land classified under PCMC guidelines is exempt from property tax. This exemption applies to land that holds historical, cultural, or architectural significance. It encourages the preservation of sites that contribute to the region’s historical identity, promoting tourism and education about the area’s heritage. By alleviating tax obligations, property owners are incentivised to maintain and restore heritage sites, ensuring they remain intact for future generations.

1. Residential Structures Under 500 Square Feet: Residential properties with a built-up area of less than 500 square feet are exempt from property tax. This exemption aims to support affordable housing. It provides relief to lower-income households, ensuring that basic housing remains accessible without the added burden of tax payments. By exempting smaller residential units, PCMC promotes the construction and occupancy of affordable homes, helping to address housing shortages.
