The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has issued a directive mandating all pet dog owners within its jurisdiction to obtain a valid dog license. This move comes under the Dog Tax Regulation, 1993, enacted through the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949 (Chapter 11, Section 149(1), and Section 127(2)(k)).
All pet owners must apply for a dog license via the official NMMC website, navigating to the ‘Citizen Services’ section under the Health Department.
Failure to comply can result in penal action, as the NMMC has warned of strict audits to track compliance across housing societies.
