Is your beloved pet officially registered with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)? We've got great news for Pune's pet enthusiasts! PMC is gearing up to launch a hassle-free online renewal system for pet licenses, starting next week.
PMC's latest initiative aims to simplify the process of renewing licenses for pet dogs and cats, making it more convenient for pet owners across the city.
Around a year and a half ago, PMC introduced online registration for pet dogs and cats, a move that was warmly welcomed by the community. Building on this success, PMC is now set to introduce online renewal services for pet licenses, enhancing accessibility and convenience for pet lovers.
Officials from PMC's veterinary department have disclosed that the renewal fee for each pet will be Rs 25, with detailed information provided on the PMC website.
Previously, pet owners had to pay an upfront fee of Rs 500 for a 10-year period during the online registration process initiated in November 2022, equating to Rs 50 per year.
The upcoming renewal feature will be prominently displayed on the PMC website, offering a seamless experience for pet owners.
It's noteworthy that the online registration initiative witnessed significant participation from dog owners, resulting in 3,522 dog licenses issued. However, only 162 cat owners availed themselves of the licenses.
After registration, licenses are typically issued within 20 days, following which pet owners must renew them upon expiration. Initially, this renewal process was conducted in-person, ward-wise.
Pet owners will need to submit various documents, including a certificate of rabies vaccination, residential address, a photo of the animal, property tax payment receipt, and a no objection certificate from the housing society, as part of the annual license renewal process.
Dr. Sarika Funde, veterinary superintendent at PMC, expressed satisfaction with the positive response to the online registration system, highlighting the issuance of 3,522 dog licenses and 162 cat licenses to date. Dr. Funde emphasized the ease of the online registration process, enabling pet owners to ensure compliance with municipal regulations without the need for physical visits to PMC facilities or ward offices.
