PCMC's ₹522 Cr Property Tax Collection in Q1: A Data-Driven Success
In just the first 90 days of FY 2025-26, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has collected a record ₹522 crore in property tax - over 50% of the total property tax revenue earned in the entire previous fiscal year.
What made this possible? The effective use of its City Hub for Data Communication (CHDC).
Powered by CHDC, PCMC:
- Identified habitual year-end taxpayers
- Sent targeted nudges about early-payment discounts and online convenience
- Analysed area-specific tax behaviour
- Used real-time defaulter tracking and data-led planning
This is how data governance translates into revenue performance.
A case study in how Indian municipalities can leverage data to improve Own Source Revenues (OSR) - not just incrementally, but transformationally.
