During a scrutiny of property tax paid for the period of 2020-21, the MCfound a difference of Rs12.33 lakh between the tax paid by a private hospital at Ranjit Avenue and the actual tax amount. MC Secretary Sushant Bhatia has written to the MCCommissioner to issue a recovery notice to the hospital. Bhatia said the hospital has to pay Rs3,18,087 as property tax for 2021 but the hospital paid only Rs71,307 for this period. The MC officials said the hospital had paid less tax than the actual by making incorrect self-assessments during the past five years.

“During last fiscal, the hospital paid Rs2,46,780 less than the actual amount. So we have calculated that the tax amount of Rs12.33 lakh should be deposited by the hospital,” said Bhatia. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
