Pune: The PMC has taken a unique decision to collect property tax of around Rs.8,500 crore. A call center was opened to implement that decision. The civic body started with a target of 50,000 calls per month.

This call center is also active on weekends. “The administration wants to intensify the recovery drive. Further steps will be taken from the headquarters and ward offices,” explained Madhav Jagtap, head of PMC’s property tax department.
