During the event, five lucky residents were presented with keys to brand-new petrol cars, while 15 others happily received electric scooters. A total of 45 individuals were honored with valuable prizes such as mobile phones and laptops, further emphasizing the program’s commitment to civic duty.

The initiative’s criteria targeted those who settled their property tax dues by the original deadline of July 31, with a flexible extension to August 2. Prizes were distributed across three taxpayer categories: zero to Rs 25,000, Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000, and Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 Lakh, underscoring the PMC’s dedication to nurturing responsible taxpayers.

This innovative ‘Lucky Draw’ initiative highlights the interplay between civic engagement and personal benefits, encouraging a broader segment of the community to fulfill their civic responsibilities promptly. As winners drove off in their new cars and rode away on electric scooters, the PMC’s strategy stands as a testament to effective methods of bridging civic participation and tangible rewards, ultimately benefiting both the city and its diligent citizens.”
