The Chandigarh municipal corporation (MC) has collected its highest-ever annual property tax, in the fiscal year 2024-25, with the total amounting to ₹52.24 crore, a 21% increase was seen against previous year’s collection of ₹43.21 crore.

The increased tax collection can be attributed to several strategic initiatives undertaken by the civic body, including enhanced taxpayer outreach and awareness campaigns to encourage prompt submission and availing statutory rebate, streamlining of assessment and collection processes, and improved coordination with relevant government agencies and departments.
While sharing this achievement, MC chief Anindita Mitra said the accomplishment was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the tax collection team, as well as the civic responsibility demonstrated by the city residents and businesses.
The record-breaking property tax collection will enable the MC to further strengthen the city’s infrastructure, improve public services, and invest in the overall development of Chandigarh, added the commissioner.
