Navi Mumbai: The property department has reason to cheer with as many as 1,700 people, including poll contestants, queuing up to pay property tax before the upcoming Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) election. It is mandatory for aspiring candidates to clear all pending dues with the corporation to be eligible to contest the poll and acquire no objection certificate (NOC) from the department. Even those who propose or second the proposal of a civic candidate must pay up all dues and arrears.
"Such large turnout to pay property tax or seeking NOC is rare. But before elections, the aspirants, as well as those who are involved in proposing or supporting candidates, need the certificate. So one can say that the majority of payments is primarily due to the coming elections," said assessor and collector P B Kulkarni.
