To change the name on a property tax bill in Pune, apply to the Pune Municipal Corporation (or PCMC) property tax department with the registered sale, gift or release deed and Index-II, the latest paid tax receipt, society NOC and owner IDs; for inheritance, add the death certificate and legal heir proof. After verification and payment of the transfer fee, the property is mutated and future bills are issued in the new owner’s name.
Why change the name on your property tax bill?
A registered sale deed transfers ownership, but the municipal corporation still has the old owner in its records until you apply for transfer (mutation). Banks, utilities, society redevelopment, passport address verification and future resale all rely on the property tax record matching the owner. Transferring it early avoids penalties and confusion later.

Name change after the owner’s death
When the owner passes away, legal heirs apply with the death certificate and proof of heirship. If the family wants the record in one person’s name, the other heirs usually sign a release deed or NOC. Where there is a will, the beneficiary applies with the will and supporting affidavits. We advise the cleanest route for your case.
