Nashik City's local government has achieved a remarkable 25 percent increase in property tax collection, amassing Rs 75 crore in just 75 days. This success can be attributed to the implementation of a rebate scheme that entices taxpayers with incentives ranging from 6 percent to 8 percent. Around 1.7 lakh taxpayers have taken advantage of the rebate scheme, resulting in a rebate amount of Rs 4 crore. With an optimistic goal of reaching Rs 90 crore, the Nashik Municipal Corporation aims to collect an additional Rs 15 crore in the next 15 days.Read more

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is set to auction properties of 73 major property tax defaulters next month, targeting those who ignored earlier confiscation notices. Each defaulter owes over INR1 lakh, and the crackdown follows warnings sent to 425 such cases. The city faces over INR250 crore in unpaid property taxes from more than 1.5 lakh defaulters.
