PHAGWARA: In a citizen-centric move under the One Time Settlement (OTS) Policy-2025, the Punjab Government has fixed July 31 as the last date for depositing pending property tax with full exemption on penalty and interest. To facilitate this, special tax collection camps are being organized at the Municipal Corporation Office, Phagwara.
Municipal Commissioner Dr. Akshita Gupta (IAS) informed through a press release that the Property/House Tax Branch at the MC complex will remain open every day, including Saturdays and Sundays, till July 31 to ensure residents face no inconvenience while clearing their dues. She appealed to all property owners in Phagwara to take advantage of this opportunity and make their contributions toward the city’s development.
Dr. Gupta stated that as per the notification issued by the Department of Local Government, property owners who pay their original outstanding tax amount in full by July 31 will receive a complete waiver on penalty and interest. Those who make payments between August 1 and October 31 will be eligible for a 50% waiver on penalty and interest. However, after October 31, 2025, full penalty and interest will become applicable as per the prevailing laws.
