The Panvel Municipal Corporation has issued a public appeal urging all property owners within its jurisdiction to pay their property tax for the financial year 2025–26, warning that strict legal action will be initiated against defaulters.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the civic body said payment of property tax is mandatory under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949. Municipal Commissioner Mangesh Chitale appealed to property holders with pending dues to clear them immediately, stating that tax collection is essential for carrying out development works and maintaining civic services in the city.
The corporation has asked defaulters to pay their outstanding property tax by March 10, 2026. If the dues are not cleared within the stipulated time, action will be taken under Sections 128 and 129 of the Act and the relevant tax assessment rules, which may include penalties, attachment, seizure of property and other legal proceedings.
