Milind Meshram, the deputy municipal commissioner in charge of revenue, stated that the individuals in question have neglected to pay their taxes over a prolonged period. Also, the local authority aimed to collect a revenue of Rs 250 crore from property taxation during the previous fiscal year; however, only Rs241 crore could be collected. NMC's financial unit highlighted the importance of enhancing the collection of property taxes, which serves as the primary source of income for the governing body.
Meshram stated that the NMC has implemented multiple programmes aimed at diminishing the outstanding debts. As of April 1, 2022, the outstanding amount of property tax was recorded at Rs 786 crore. The NMC resolved a number of challenges raised by educational institutions and temples, which highlighted inaccurate tax computations.
Nagpur residents who own property are required to pay annual Nagpur property tax (also known as NMC property tax), with the amount varying based on the property's location. According to the MMC (Mumbai Municipal Corporation) Act, an authority in charge of civic affairs possesses the capability to annually raise the rate of property taxes. The latest modification of the NMC property tax was implemented in April 2015.
In the absence of a relaxation announcement from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, a penalty of 2 percent interest per month will be levied for non-payment of NMC property tax or Nagpur property tax within the stipulated deadline, and this will apply for the entire duration of payment default.
