Amritsar MC organises property tax camp, collects over Rs 1.71 lakh

Following the directives of the Commissioner and Joint Commissioner, the Amritsar Municipal Corporation organised a two-day tax collection camp in Roop Nagar, which concluded today.

The camp was held to help residents and shopkeepers in availing the benefits of Punjab Government’s One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme, which offers tax payment without penalties or interest. Under the guidance of Secretary Sushant Bhatia, a team, led by supervision of Superintendent Raj Kumar and Inspector Sita Ram, facilitated the smooth conduct of this camp under the Property Tax Department (Central Zone).

The initiative received an enthusiastic response from the public, with several local residents and traders clearing their pending property tax dues. On July 4, a total of 76 Property Tax Receipts (PTRs) were issued, collecting Rs 82,702. On July 5, 54 PTRs were issued, bringing in Rs 88,973. In total, the camp recorded 130 transactions and deposited Rs 1,71,675 into the Municipal Corporation’s account.
