Chandigarh Municipal Corporation starts issuing notices to property tax defaulters

Chandigarh, September 26

In a bid to shore up resources, the Chandigarh MC has started issuing notices to all property tax defaulters.

The cash-strapped civic body has netted Rs24.41 crore less from its own revenue resources in the first five months of the financial year, managing to earn just Rs99.24 crore out of the expected Rs123.66 crore till August 31.

Municipal Corporation Additional Commissioner Anil Kumar Garg said, “We are sending property tax notices to all commercial and government building defaulters. Tax will be recovered from them after following due process.” — TNS
