Bombay HC grants no stay on Property Tax

The Bombay High Court has not granted any stay on property tax recovery. Along with this, as the penalty for non-payment of property tax increases by 2 percent per month, the tendency of citizens to pay property tax is increasing. Therefore, it is seen that the property owners in the residential sector as well as the property tax holders in the industrial sector are paying their property tax to a large extent.

In the coming time, the Municipal Corporation has undertaken many ambitious projects like constructing civil primary health centres, international standard cricket training centre, community temples, infrastructure works at Koynavale, Karavale, Dhansar, Roadpali, Boudhwada under Smart Village. In addition, a well-equipped 450 bedded Maternal and Child Care Hospital named “Hirakni” is also proposed.
