The budget for 2023-24 proposed a property tax collection of Rs 800 crores. To meet this ambitious target, Mrs. Dhole conducted frequent meetings with officers and staff of the property tax department, preparing a comprehensive list of arrears in descending order. Special emphasis was placed on recovering long-pending arrears and those from the previous year's assessments. Efforts were also directed towards the newly assessed properties and the first phase of the LIDAR survey conducted in the industrial MIDC area, contributing to the acceleration of property tax collection. Consequently, the data indicates a substantial increase of Rs 67.05 crores in property tax collection by the end of December compared to the previous year.
