NMC takes possession of 3 properties of tax defaulters

Nagpur: The

Gandhibagh zone

of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Wednesday recovered Rs2,19,460

property tax

from seven defaulters. The property owners turned up to clear their dues only after the NMC issued auction notices against their properties situated in Ward number 31 of Gandhibagh zone.

The NMC, however, took possession of three properties. Following non-payment of tax of Rs98,763, the zone office invited bidders for the auction. “As no bidder turned up, the zone officer took possession of the premises in the name of NMC commissioner by declaring the property purchased for a token Re1,” said assistant municipal commissioner of the zone Ashok Patil.
