Upon closely examining the tax defaulters released by NMC, it was revealed that out of 7.05 lakh property owners in Nagpur, almost half or 3.4 lakh had not paid their property tax in the last financial year (2023-24). The total dues from them were reported to amount to 1.40 billion.

Furthermore, the data disclosed that residents from Ashi Nagar zone topped the list of defaulters among the 10 zones of NMC. It was indicated that a total of 80,815 owners there were yet to clear their dues. Nehru Nagar zone was mentioned to come next, with 52,289 property owners not paying tax for the financial year 2023-2024.
