Deputy Municipal Comm-issioner of A & C Taxes, Vilas Kanade, said the concession system started three years ago was proving to be quite successful and the number of persons coming forward to pay their property tax has been increasing every year.
The amount collected this year has exceeded last year’s collection by Rs 51 crore. Kanade appealed to those who have not paid their tax yet, to do so before June 30 or be penalized two per cent extra on their original tax amount. u00a0
