Hello all.. selected Councillors have prepared an agenda for imposing House Tax and the agenda proposes House Tax of Rs 1 per square yard. Houses less than 5 marlas, EWS/LIG houses and houses in villages and colonies would be exempted from tax.

Imposition of House Tax is one of the conditions of getting grants under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). More funds are needed for the expansion and development of the city, and that's why they are stressing on this matter.

Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Shivraj V Patil are putting pressure on Mayor Subhash Chawla for the tax imposition. They have said that if MC does not take decision on imposing tax then the Administration will impose it, and the rates would be higher.
