SAS Nagar, January 7, 2026:
The Municipal Corporation, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar has successfully initiated a major enforcement drive against chronic Property Tax defaulters, resulting in recovery of approximately *Rs 22 lakh* from commercial and industrial units. The drive was conducted on Wednesday as per the schedule announced earlier by the Municipal Corporation.
Sharing the details, Commissioner Parminder Pal Singh said that
In view of the firm stance adopted by the Municipal Corporation and prior issuance of sealing notices under Section 138‑C of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976, a majority of the identified defaulters came forward to clear their long-pending dues. Consequently, no property has been sealed as on date, as most defaulting owners and occupiers deposited the outstanding Property Tax along with applicable penalty and interest before final action.
Joint Commissioner, Jasjit Singh added that fresh notices have now been issued to the remaining defaulters who have still not cleared their outstanding Property Tax dues despite repeated opportunities. The Municipal Corporation has made it clear that coercive action, including sealing of properties under Section 138‑C and other measures permissible in law, will be taken without further intimation if such defaulters fail to clear their pendency within the stipulated time.
The Municipal Corporation has urged all property owners to verify and promptly deposit any pending Property Tax to avoid inconvenience and penal action. Taxpayers may approach the Property Tax Branch, Municipal Corporation, SAS Nagar during office hours for clarification, calculation of dues, or assistance regarding payment.
