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.
