Chandigarh, December 27 - Giving a big relief to property taxpayers of urban areas, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal has announced to extend the last date for depositing property tax in cities from December 31, 2022, to January 31, 2023. As per the announcement, entire interest will be waived off if the property tax is deposited by December 31, 2022, while a 50 percent waiver will be given on depositing property tax by January 31, 2023.

The Chief Minister made this announcement while speaking after the discussion on the calling attention motion introduced in the House.

Sh. Manohar Lal said that the government is also finding a way to regularize the colonies developed illegally outside the urban limits, for this the rules are being amended. Colonies in old areas in cities would be declared as core area and persons residing in such colonies for more than 50 years would be allowed mixed land use as properties in such colonies were neither falling under residential nor commercial categories. We aim to build the city in a planned manner, he added. 

The ULB issues the no-dues certificate for the registry. Development fee is not charged in illegal colonies, so first we have to regularize the colonies then we can levy development fee and open registries. People will have to pay an additional fee for Tatkal service.
