35 tax defaulters with Rs 3.6cr dues to get notices in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: MCG has identified 35 property tax defaulters with collective dues of Rs 3.6 crore and will begin recovery proceedings by issuing notices. This action follows a recent campaign where the civic body served notices to 69 defaulters who owe Rs 18.2 crore in taxes.
"In the last two weeks, we gave out 69 notices to the property tax defaulters who owe us Rs 18.23 crore. We will issue 35 notices on Tuesday to ensure recovery of the outstanding property tax dues," said zonal taxation officer Pankaj Kumar.
In the current financial year (FY), the property tax revenue projection is pegged at Rs 275 crore, which is less than last FY's projection of Rs 300 crore. In 2024-25, MCG generated an income of Rs 232.9 crore, which was 77% of the projected estimate.
Property tax is one of the major sources of revenue besides stamp duty for MCG, which is one of the highest revenue-earning municipal corporations of Haryana.
Meanwhile, the Haryana govt has provided relief to property owners by offering a 10% discount on tax for FY 2025-26, provided they pay their entire outstanding property tax by July 31, 2025. Moreover, it is necessary for the property tax data to be self-certified on the no-dues certificate (NDC) portal. Property owners can avail this discount by paying the tax through the NDC Haryana official portal or nearby citizen service centres.
If property tax is not paid on time, the govt imposes an annual interest rate of 18% on property tax, and defaulter properties may be sealed and auctioned, officials said.

Mango farmers ‘reduced to pulp' in Chittoor dist
Tirupati: The current standoff over mango procurement prices in Chittoor district, attributed to a bumper crop and crashing prices in neighbouring states, shows no sign of resolution; causing distress to farmers and resentment among pulp processors. Chittoor, the largest producer of the totapuri variety of mango used primarily for pulp extraction, is witnessing a crisis this season due to a mismatch between government-mandated procurement prices and market dynamics. In a bid to support farmers, the government had fixed the procurement price at Rs.12 per kg this year, including Rs.4 to be paid as subsidy. However, this decision has resulted in strong resistance from pulp factory owners who claim to be already dealing with excess pulp stock and weak demand. The situation has been compounded by lower mango prices in neighbouring Karnataka, where mangoes are being procured for as low as Rs.4 per kg. Processors in Chittoor argue that buying mangoes at Rs.8, when the pulp has to be sold at uniform market rates across regions, is unviable. The procurement initially began smoothly on June 9, with around 40,000 tonnes of mangoes bought across southern Andhra Pradesh. But as daily arrivals surged to 5,000 tonnes in Chittoor and 2,000 tonnes in Tirupati, the system started to buckle under pressure. Cheaper mango arrivals from Krishnagiri and Kolar in Karnataka have worsened the situation. 'Processors there are buying at Rs.4 per kg, while we are asked to pay Rs.8 per kg. How is this sustainable when pulp is sold at the same price everywhere?' questioned a local processor. Currently, only 15 of Chittoor's 39 pulp factories are actively procuring mangoes. Although 25 units initially expressed interest, most have since scaled back due to pricing concerns. With mangoes ripening rapidly in the orchards, desperate farmers are being forced to sell at whatever price they can get. At present, factories are offering Rs.6 per kg, supplemented by a Rs.4 per kg government subsidy, effectively meeting the Rs.10 mark. Farmer associations are bringing pressure on the processors to honour the Rs.12 price, but oversupply and competitive pricing in neighbouring regions are dragging prices down. With the peak mango season expected to continue until August, both sides remain locked in a challenging situation. Officials are trying to mediate for addressing the crisis. Chittoor District Horticulture Officer D Madhusudan Reddy told The Hans India that efforts were underway to ensure smooth procurement without burdening either side. He noted that this year's bumper harvest, yielding 5.4 lakh metric tonnes, has led to steep price drops, with fluctuations expected to continue based on arrivals and market trends. Meanwhile, former Minister and Punganur MLA Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy has warned of protests if pulp units do not procure mangoes at Rs.8 per kg. He criticised the state government's inaction and demanded fair compensation for the 56,000 acres of mango cultivation in the district.

Maharashtra: Feasibility study on water taxi routes in MMR presented; estimated capital cost Rs 2,500 crore
A techno-economic feasibility study for water taxis in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) was presented to the state government on Monday with a plan of operating 10 routes totalling 252 kilometers with an estimated capital cost of Rs 2,500 crore. During the meeting, a discussion was also held on starting additional water taxi routes on Mumbai's Western seafront. Among the 10 routes proposed in the report include, Narangi – Kharwadeswari near Virar (1 km length), Vasai – Mira Bhayandar– Fountain Junction –Gaimukh– Nagale (16 km), Kalher–Kolshet– Mulund–Aeroli– Vashi– DCT – Gateway (50 km ), Gaimukh-Kolshet– Kalher– Mumbra– Kalyan (31 km), New airport-Belapur-Vashi (14 km), Vasai– Marve– Nariman Point (61 km), Borivali– Gorai– Essel world- Marve- Manori (6 km), Rewas- Karanja- Gateway (19 km), Belapur-Gateway-Mandwa (38 km) and Gateway-Elephanta-Nhava (17 km). The report was drafted by the Kochi Water Metro and presented to state Ports Minister Nitesh Rane. According to an official present at the meeting, the government has decided to increase the number of routes before going ahead with the Detailed Project Report (DPR). 'The study does not include key Mumbai routes such as Worli, Juhu and Varsova. It will be added and the DPR of this project will be prepared,' the officer said. Out of these routes, five are projected to be financially viable after 2029 and two would require Viability Gap Funding (VGF) by the government to turn viable. While Rs 2,500 crore was estimated as the capital cost, for the upgrade of existing water transport terminals, the estimated cost is Rs 5 crore per terminal. As per the report, by 2031, the realistic number of trips on these routes will 2.44 lakh while in 2041, it will be 3.42 lakh. Among the civil infrastructure requirements, the study report has listed terminals or jetties with passenger amenities, floating pontoons and gangways, boatyards for vessel maintenance and repairs, night parking and fueling jetties, development of access roads and parking facilities and non-motorised transport (NMT).
