Amritsar, August 12

On the directions of MC Commissioner Malwinder Singh Jaggi, a team of the Property Tax Department, led by Secretary Daljit Singh, sealed eight commercial buildings of those who failed to deposit property tax in various areas of the city on Wednesday. The action was taken especially against those entities which had not paid property tax for the last several years despite repeated notices from the property tax wing of the civic body. Daljit Singh, Secretary, MC, said, “A total of eight properties were sealed during today’s departmental action, out of which six property owners and tenants paid the tax on the spot. Such actions would be expedited in future to increase the recovery of the property tax department.”

He appealed to those city residents, who have not paid the property tax dues yet or underpaid, should deposit it by September 30, 2021, without any delay and avail the rebate.

He said the payment of this tax would be made to the MC by Citizen Facilitation Centers located in the zones of the MC. This can be done on any working day in the centres and timely payment could prevent departmental action.

Superintendent Davinder Singh Babbar, Inspector Pardeep Bhatti, Mandeep Singh, Paramjit Singh, Ajit Singh, Dheeraj Kumar, department staff and policemen were part of the team.
