The Haryana cabinet has sanctioned a revamped property tax framework for cities, aiming to streamline revenue collection and enhance transparency.
On Thursday, the Haryana cabinet approved a new property tax system for urban areas, marking a significant shift in the state's revenue framework.
The revised scheme introduces a digital assessment mechanism that calculates tax based on current market values, replacing the older, manually driven process.
Officials say the move will increase transparency, reduce disputes over tax rates, and potentially raise municipal revenues by up to 15%.
The cabinet also directed the Department of Municipal Administration to begin implementation in the next fiscal year, with a pilot rollout in select cities.
