The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation has collected Rs 336 crores in property taxes and over Rs 40 crores in water taxes in the twin cities of Kalyan and Dombivli. The civic body said that they have started a recovery drive to collect dues from those who have not paid taxes for their respective water and property services. KDMC has taken stringent steps to recover arrears by disconnecting water connections and proceeding with seizure and attachment provisions regarding property.

KDMC officials said that a total of 16 properties were scheduled for an auction at Acharya Atre Natyagrah, located at Shankar Rao Chowk in Kalyan West, on February 17, following compliance with attachment procedures. However, no one attended the auction.

Swati Kulkarni, a civic officer from the tax department of KDMC, said, "We held an auction program on Monday, but people did not attend. Therefore, no auctions proceeded. However, we will keep it open for the next 20 days."

According to tax department officials, they are appealing to property holders that the properties will be attached and auctioned if arrears are not cleared. KDMC officials urged people to cooperate with the KDMC and pay their arrears on time to avoid further action by the corporation.Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation Initiates Tax Recovery Drive, Holds Unattended Property Auction
