The Indian Express had published a report on January 4 highlighting how the PMC is on the one hand trying to overcome a severe fund crunch through loans from banks, is staring at outstanding property tax running into crores of rupees on the other. The RTI has highlighted that since the PMPML has not been paid the monthly rents, it has in turn not paid the property tax to the civic body.

Activist Jugal Rathi, Vivek Velankar and Vijay Kumbhar have demanded that the PMPML authorities should first collect the dues rather than the hike.
