Chandigarh UT Adviser Dharam Pal (File)Chandigarh Adviser Dharam Pal asked the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Commissioner Anindita Mitra to re-examine the property tax bills that are being raised with interest in 13 villages.
Representatives of various villages met the Adviser on Monday citing the confusion. They also stated that the bills have been raised with interest from 2019. Pal stated, βI have asked the Commissioner as to how the bills have been raised with interest. The interest has to be added on non-payment, when the bills were sent in 2019 and not now. So I have asked her to legally examine the issue once.β
Pal also stated that he asked Mitra to meet all councillors representing these 13 villages. It is for the first time that property tax is being imposed on units in villages.
These villages were under the administration prior to this and no property tax was imposed on the properties here.
