THANE: The Thane civic body in Maharashtra has collected ₹556.19 crore in property tax for the fiscal year 2025-26, falling short of its ₹841 crore target by over ₹200 crore, as reported on Friday.
Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao has issued orders for strict measures against defaulters due to this shortfall.
According to an official statement, the highest property tax collection came from the Majiwada-Manpada ward at ₹175.01 crore, followed by Vartak Nagar with ₹88.77 crore and Naupada-Kopri with ₹74.12 crore.
After a review meeting earlier this week, the commissioner has instructed officials to cut water supply to defaulters in residential buildings and to seize and seal non-residential properties failing to pay their dues. Additionally, special tax payment camps will be set up in larger housing complexes to enhance collections.
