Under the one-time settlement (OTS) scheme announced by the state government, August 31 will be the last opportunity for residents to clear their pending property tax dues without incurring penalty or interest.

To facilitate maximum participation, the suvidha kendras at all Municipal Corporation (MC) zonal offices will remain open during normal working hours tomorrow.

Mayor Inderjit Kaur said the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to public welfare. She added that the decision to keep the centres functional on Sunday had been taken solely to assist residents. “I appeal to citizens to avail themselves of this golden opportunity and pay property tax dues without the burden of additional penalty or interest,” she urged.

Officials explained that property tax, first introduced in 2013–14, is payable annually on a self-assessment basis. Property owners who fail to pay are normally liable to a 20 per cent penalty and an annual interest of 18 per cent on the outstanding amount.

However, under the OTS policy, all residents who pay their dues by August 31, 2025 will be exempted from penalty and interest. Payments can be made in person at the suvidha kendras situated at the MC’s zonal offices.
