Rahane’s Recent Form:

Ranji Trophy 2024-25: 437 runs at an average of 39.72
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: 469 runs at 58.62, strike rate 165
Last 10 Matches: Three 90+ scores, one 80+ knock, and a century

Speaking after Mumbai’s victory over Haryana in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal, Rahane said:
“I am batting well now. The Mushtaq Ali Trophy went great, and I have been scoring runs consistently. I am happy with my batting.”

On His WTC Final Performance & Test Snub

Rahane made a surprise return to the Indian squad for the 2023 WTC final against Australia, where he top-scored with 89 & 46 in difficult conditions. Despite this, he was dropped after a few low scores in the West Indies tour.

“I batted well in the WTC final, but I got dropped. Selection is not in my hands, but I still have the hunger for Test cricket. I respect the format, and I am playing with all my heart. Abhi bhi cricket bacha hai mere mein.“

Focus on Ranji Trophy Semifinal, Not India Call-Up Yet

With India’s next Test series—a five-match tour of England—set for June 2025, Rahane was asked if he’s eyeing a return. However, the Mumbai captain remained focused on the present:

“That’s in June. Right now, our focus is on the Ranji Trophy semifinal. We’ll take a couple of days off and prepare for the next match.”

With consistent domestic performances and a proven Test pedigree, could Rahane force his way back into India’s red-ball squad for England? Only time will tell.

The NMMC had set a property tax collection target of ₹900 crore for the 2024-25 financial year and has collected ₹617 crore so far. Notices have been issued to nearly 8,000 defaulters, each owing more than ₹1 lakh in unpaid dues. Those who ignored the notices beyond the stipulated deadline have now faced strict action.

Municipal commissioner Kailas Shinde emphasized the importance of property tax in maintaining quality civic services and urged citizens to fulfill their financial obligations. He highlighted the case of a prominent Nerul housing society that owes ₹5.32 crore in dues. The society consists of 68 commercial properties, each with dues exceeding ₹1 lakh. A confiscation officer has been assigned to seize these properties, and if the payments are not made within five days, they will be auctioned.

The NMMC is also prepared to take additional measures, including disconnecting the water supply to societies and establishments with significant arrears. The commissioner has urged defaulters to clear their dues immediately to avoid stringent actions.

MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced on Thursday that it will impose property tax on all commercial establishments in slum areas but emphasized that this taxation does not legalize unauthorized structures.

The assessment and collection department has already begun surveying commercial establishments in slums as part of this tax initiative. Under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act of 1888, property tax is levied on land, buildings, and other properties within BMC’s jurisdiction as part of regular tax collection.

50,000 Commercial Units in Slums to be Taxed

Mumbai has around 2.5 lakh slums, of which approximately 20% (50,000 units) are used for commercial purposes, including shops, godowns, hotels, and small-scale industries.

Civic chief Bhushan Gagrani, in his budget speech on February 4, estimated that the new property tax could generate an additional ₹350 crore in revenue for 2025-26. He justified the move, stating that since these establishments benefit from BMC’s infrastructure services, it is necessary to bring them under the tax net.

BMC Clarifies Taxation Does Not Equal Legalization

The move has sparked debate, with some citizens arguing that imposing property tax on unauthorized commercial structures might be seen as legalizing them.

However, the BMC firmly stated that taxation does not equate to legalization. Referring to Section 152(A) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, the civic body clarified:

“If any building or part of a building has been constructed or reconstructed illegally and tax or penalty has been levied on it by the administration, it does not mean that the said construction or reconstruction is legalized.”

Implementation and Future Implications

With 50,000 commercial slum establishments set to be taxed, the BMC survey is currently underway, and officials are assessing each property to determine the tax amount.

This taxation policy is expected to provide a significant boost to BMC’s revenue while ensuring that commercial operators in slum areas contribute to city infrastructure expenses. However, concerns remain over the impact on small businesses and potential legal challenges from property owners.

THANE: The Kulgaon-Badlapur police on Friday arrested four individuals for allegedly siphoning off ₹74.50 lakh from a tribal farmer’s bank account. The money was part of a government compensation package awarded to Jijabai Divekar, a resident of Badlapur, for the acquisition of her land under the Jawaharlal Nehru Port-Vadodara Highway Project.

According to police reports, the accused fraudulently transferred the sum into their own accounts, taking advantage of Divekar’s limited financial literacy. The fraud came to light when she recently checked her bank account balance and found a significant shortfall.

Politically Connected Accused Exploited Farmers’ Illiteracy

The arrested individuals have been identified as Sanjay Giri, Bhagwan Chanche, Suresh Tokri, and S Valve. Investigators revealed that the accused have ties to various political parties and have been involved in similar financial manipulations targeting tribal farmers.

“Sanjay Giri allegedly obtained thumb impressions from the victims under false pretenses and diverted a significant portion of the compensation funds,” said an officer from the Kulgaon police station.

Authorities are now probing whether bank officials or other individuals were complicit in the scam.

More Arrests Likely as Investigation Continues

The police have launched a broader investigation to determine if other farmers were similarly defrauded and whether government officials facilitated the fraudulent transactions.

“We are verifying if more people were involved, and strict action will be taken against all those responsible,” said a senior police officer.

The case highlights growing concerns over fraud targeting tribal communities, particularly in cases involving land acquisition compensation.
