Pune: The Pune Municipal Corporation has dealt a blow to Nilesh Rane in connection with the R Deccan Mall property tax case. Following the issuance of a notice by the municipal corporation regarding the outstanding tax, the tax collection department has taken action by sealing the delinquent areas. The outstanding property tax amounted to approximately ₹ 3.77 crores.
His younger brother Nitesh Rane said that if the action is as per the rules, then there is nothing wrong with it and the taxes will be cleared soon. A few months ago, there was a protest by thr PMC against Nitesh Rane as he had used abusive language while talking about the PMC officials. He was talking about how the civic body was not taking any action against illegal religious structures in the city which belonged to the minority community.
Despite the issuance of a notice by the Municipal Corporation, Nilesh Rane failed to pay the outstanding tax, leading to the sealing of the restaurant run by him on the third floor of the mall by the tax collection department. The administration has kept the information about this action confidential, generating significant speculation.
The PMC staff who carried out the action on Nilesh Rane's restaurant was not aware that it is run by Narayan Rane's so
Municipal Corporation has been conducting a large drive across the city to seal number of properties to recover the dues. Continuous notices had been sent by the municipal corporation to Nilesh Rane, over the past two years due to their property arrears. However, despite the notices, no action was taken as the municipal corporation and its senior ministers were pressurized every time a notice was issued. A few months ago, the municipal commissioner was directly instructed not to take action even after a notice was issued. However, on Tuesday, the municipal commission finally took action and sealed the property due to the outstanding arrears.
