Talegaon Dabhade: The total collection of property tax, income tax and water board of Talegaon Dabhade Municipal Council at the end of December is Rs 12 crore 76 lakh. To achieve the target of 100% consolidated tax collection, the administration has decided to take strict legal action in the remaining three months of the financial year. Chief N said that the administration has made successful preparations to publish the list of names of big defaulters in the newspaper, call for payment of dues by playing drum bands in front of defaulters' houses, at business places, and issue warrants for seizure. In case of non-payment of fine, the property will be sealed and the taps of unauthorized tap holders will be closed permanently. K. Patil said on Friday (22).

Warning of strict action against defaulters

Huge dues on National Heavy Engineering Company

National Heavy Engineering Private Limited Company is the biggest defaulter in Talegaon Dabhade Municipal Council area and the total outstanding amount of the company is Rs 10 crore 72 lakh 83 thousand 225. The share of this company alone in the total property tax demand of the Municipal Council is about 47 percent. There is also a trend in large numbers to pay five years' tax dues to the ward candidate before the opportunity to vote. A former councilor, on the condition of anonymity, said that due to the delay in elections, the tax burden of seven years will fall this year.

Hundred percent tax collection has been planned by the end of March. Till now around Rs 13 crore has been recovered and the target is to recover the remaining Rs 29 crore by the end of March. To avoid the burden of interest and penalties, delinquent citizens and businessmen should pay their taxes on time.
