Providing another opportunity to residents to clear their outstanding property tax dues without penalty and interest, the Punjab government has extended the One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme till August 15.
Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal said, “The OTS scheme, which was earlier effective from July 1 to 31, received an overwhelming response from residents. As a result, the Municipal Councils in Mohali district have collectively collected Rs 21.85 crore in pending property tax dues till August 1.”
“Zirakpur Municipal Council led the collections by depositing Rs 13.59 crore, followed by Kharar Rs 3.75 crore, and Dera Bassi securing the third position with Rs 2.26 crore,” she said.
Among the remaining municipal councils, Lalru collected Rs 82.98 lakh, Kurali Rs 55.2 lakh, Naya Gaon Rs 52.95 lakh, Banur Rs 34.05 lakh and Gharuan Rs 41,000, she said.
Appealing to the residents, who have yet to take advantage of the OTS scheme, the DC urged them to promptly visit their respective municipal council offices and clear their outstanding property tax dues before the extended time.
