PCMC vs PMC — Which One Is Yours?
This is the most common confusion in Pune region:
| PCMC | PMC | |
|---|---|---|
| Full Form | Pimpri-Chinchwad MC | Pune Municipal Corporation |
| Portal | pcmcindia.gov.in | punecorporation.org |
| Areas | Pimpri, Chinchwad, Wakad, Hinjewadi, Bhosari, Akurdi, Nigdi, Moshi | Old Pune, Kothrud, Hadapsar, Viman Nagar |
| Identifiers | Zone + Gat + Property Code | Peth ID + Account No + Section ID |
