PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: The civic body, in association with the Pimpri Chinchwad Smart City Limited, has started a GIS-based survey to assess taxes of properties in its limits.
A Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) official said the Geographical Information System (GIS)-based survey would ensure transparency in tax collection and plug the leaks in revenue.
PCMC commissioner Rajesh Patil told TOI, “We have undertaken door-to-door property assessment survey and GIS-based mapping, which would improve revenue collection.”
PCMC additional commissioner Vikas Dhakane claimed that this was the first time the civic body was conducting GIS mapping for assessing properties. Smita Zagade, deputy commissioner in the PCMC, said the aim was to identify the properties missing from the tax net.
