Maharashtra cabinet waives 2% monthly penalty on property tax arrears in small towns

Dated on: Wednesday 16th April 2025

The Maharashtra Cabinet has waived the two-month penalty on property tax arrears for residents in small towns and rural areas, providing relief to citizens struggling with pending tax payments. The waiver is a part of the state’s efforts to ease the financial burden on property owners in less urbanized areas. Property tax dues from earlier periods will no longer accrue additional penalties for two months, helping residents clear arrears. The government aims to boost tax collection and encourage timely payments by offering this temporary relief to those unable to settle outstanding dues due to financial constraints.
