Pradeep Pohane, the then Chairman of Standing Committee, had presented NMC budget of Rs 3,197.34 crore for 2019-20. However, NMC could not achieve the revenue target owing to several reasons including reduced recovery and reduced inflow of aid from the Government. Tukaram Mundhe, the then Municipal Commissioner, presented revised budget and effected budget cut. The next few months spelled more trouble for NMC as far as revenue was concerned due to coronavirus outbreak. With lockdown restrictions being eased, situation is improving. Zalke is expected to present a budget of around Rs 3,300 crore. The budget is expected to focus on completing the pending projects as well as raising the target of recovery of property tax.
