Patiala, January 1

The Patiala Municipal Corporation was able to collect Rs 21.53 crore of the total property tax by December 31, 2023. Out of this, the civic body collected Rs 6 crore in December, while Rs 53 lakh was collected on the last day of the year.

In the financial year 2022–23, the civic body was able to collect Rs 22 crore by March 31. Babandeep Singh, Joint Commissioner, Patiala MC, said that the deadline for filing property tax, without penalty or interest (under the OTS scheme), for the financial years 2013–14 to 2023–24 was extended until December 31. He added that from January 1 onwards, the scheme has ended, and from now on, the property tax will be collected along with the penalty from the residents until March 31.

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).
