The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has been facing financial losses due to the non-registration of properties, additional construction and change in use of properties within the civic limits.

Pravin Ashtikar, assistant commissioner of PCMC said, “A total of 14,928 unregistered properties were found in the survey. Of these, 10,308 are new properties; 3,489 properties have been extended, and 648 new properties were built after demolishing old properties.”

A senior official said the department will complete registration of these properties over the next two months. The properties are expected to generate about Rs10 crore in property tax.

Most new properties were found in the newly-merged Charholi, Moshi and Chikhali areas, officials said.
