Pune (PMC) dog licence: documents, renewal and fee
Pune Municipal Corporation says a PMC licence is compulsory to keep a dog at home, and you apply on PMC's online services portal under "Dog License (H-11)" 1. You upload the dog's last rabies vaccination certificate, your Aadhaar, three photos of the dog and address proof 1. PMC's portal does not show the fee or how long the licence lasts before you apply 1; a 2024 news report gave ₹500 for ten years, which we could not confirm on any PMC page 2.

Older rules you may hear about

- Fee and validity: PMC's portal does not show the fee or the licence period before you apply 1. A January 2024 news report said a new licence cost ₹500 for ten years (₹50 a year) and renewal ₹25 2. We found no PMC page confirming this. Check the amount on the portal, or ask PMC's Health Department (veterinary section).
- Some websites say a Pune dog licence ends every 31 March. We found no PMC source for this.
- Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC) issues its own dog licence. This page covers PMC only.
