NMC Plans Offer Up to 15% Rebate as 44% Property Owners Avail Tax Sops Nagpur: Encouraged by the strong response from taxpayers, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has proposed reintroducing rebates of up to 15% on property tax payments. Officials highlighted that nearly 44% of the city’s total property holders availed the incentive scheme in the previous financial year. According to data from the tax department, out of the 8,28,497 registered properties in the city, 3,65,196 property owners paid their dues between April 1 and December 31, 2025, by taking advantage of rebate benefits. This participation rate of approximately 44.1% underscores the effectiveness of the incentive-based collection strategy in improving compliance and boosting revenues. Of the total, 1,47,560 property owners opted for online payment mode, contributing Rs61.54 crore. These taxpayers availed rebates ranging between 10% and 15%, with the NMC offering a total concession of Rs1.63 crore. In contrast, a larger number—2,17,636 property owners—chose offline payment modes, collectively paying Rs49.48 crore. They availed rebates of 5% and 10%, resulting in a higher rebate outgo of Rs3.14 crore for the civic body. Despite the higher number of offline transactions, officials noted that online payments generated greater revenue, reinforcing the NMC’s push toward digital tax collection systems. Building on this trend, the tax department has proposed a revised rebate structure for the upcoming financial cycle and submitted it to municipal commissioner Vipin Itankar for approval. Once cleared, the proposal will be routed through the standing committee before being placed before the general body.#tax_department #nagpur_municipal_corporation #nmc #vipin_itankar #property_owners
