Official Statement PMC Warns Against Fake News Regarding New Property Tax Rules

20 Apr 2026

 

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has officially debunked a viral social media claim suggesting that senior citizens in Maharashtra are eligible for a 30% rebate on property tax for self-occupied homes. In an official statement released on April 18, 2026, the civic body clarified that no such state-level policy or Government Resolution (GR) exists. The message, which has been circulating widely on WhatsApp, is entirely unauthorized and misleading.

Civic officials, including the head of the Property Tax Department, have urged residents to ignore and stop forwarding these unverified claims to prevent widespread confusion among taxpayers. While the PMC offers certain established concessions (such as the 40% rebate for self-occupied properties under specific conditions), there is no flat 30% discount specifically for senior citizens across the state. Taxpayers are advised to rely solely on the official PMC website or government channels for accurate information regarding rebates and billing.
