Chandigarh, May 26

The last date to deposit property tax with rebate has been extended by two months i.e. up to July 31 in the city.

Despite the rebate, 68 per cent building owners have failed to pay property tax so far.

According to the MC, there are 1.06 lakh house tax payers in the city. Of them, only 38,000 owners have cleared it so far. Of the 30,000 commercial tax payers, only 10,000 have paid the levy. A sum of around Rs 24 crore has been collected as the tax for the current fiscal from April 1 till now. Now, residential property taxpayers will get a rebate of 20 per cent and commercial property taxpayers 10 per cent till July 31. After that, there will be a penalty of 25 per cent and 12 per cent interest on the tax dues sans rebate.

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).
