Soon, no property tax for defence personnel

Pune is set to strengthen its tag of a haven for defence personnel
with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) and the Pune
Municipal Corporation (PMC) making progress in a move to exempt them
from property tax. The PCMC general body passed a resolution in this
regard on December 23 and in September, the Pune Municipal Corporation
(PMC) had passed such a resolution that is waiting for the final nod.
Though there is no data readily available with Pune, Khadki and Dehu
Road cantonments on the number of defence personnel wanting to settle
down in Pune, running through Pune and dozens of defence institutes,
it was learnt that there are thousands of them opting for it.
“After the resolution was passed, we invited objections and
suggestions from people on December 11. The last date for suggestions
was December 25. Many defence welfare associations feel that all
defence personnel, regardless of how many years they have served,
should get the benefit. We will meet them in the coming week also. The
final proposal will be tabled in the general body meeting and sent to
the state government for approval by the last week of January,” said
Vilas Kanade, PMC property tax department chief
