In a move aimed at improving tax collection before the end of the financial year, the Property Tax Department of the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) will remain open on Saturdays and Sundays during the month of March.
The decision is likely to have been taken to help residents who may find it difficult to visit municipal offices on working days.
A Convenient Option for Residents
Municipal officials say that several property owners prefer to complete civic payments over the weekend when they have more time available.
Keeping the department open on Saturdays and Sundays is expected to make it easier for residents to clear their property tax dues before the financial year closes.
Year-End Collection Drive
March typically sees a higher volume of tax payments as civic bodies across the state work to close their annual accounts.
By extending operations to weekends, the Panvel Municipal Corporation hopes to facilitate payments from a larger number of taxpayers while also strengthening year-end revenue collection.
Residents intending to pay their dues can visit the PMC Property Tax Department during the extended working days this month.
