People living in cities have to pay property tax to the government. This tax has to be paid on houses, shops and other commercial premises coming in urban areas.
This tax contributes significantly to the income of the municipal bodies. On non-payment of tax, the government also charges interest on the principal of the tax. Now the Haryana government has taken a big decision regarding property tax.
The government has now announced a 30 percent rebate on the interest on property tax. Earlier, the government was giving 10 percent discount on interest. This means that if a person now pays property tax, then only 70 percent of the total amount of interest on his outstanding tax will have to be deposited along with the basic tax.
The government has decided to give 30 percent rebate in the interest amount only to those who deposit property tax by July 31, 2023. The increase in interest subvention by 20 percent will provide relief to all sections living in urban areas.
Property tax is to be paid every year
