A Government spokesman said that many amendments have been carried out in the Urban Local Bodies Department Notifications dated October 11, 2013 to give effect to the measures relating to property tax and that DISCOMs would soon issue notifications in respect of electricity bills of Temples, Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques. The spokesman said a onetime rebate of 25 per cent would also be allowed for property tax dues or arrears for the year 2010-11 to 2016-17 to those property tax owners who clear all the property tax dues or arrears for the year 2010-11 to 2019-20 upto October 31, 2020.    

Keeping in view the hardships caused by COVID-19 pandemic, Government of Haryana has decided to waive off the electricity bills of all religious places i.e. Temples (including Buddhist & Jain temples), Gurudwaras, Churches and Masjids in the state for the period April, 2020 to June, 2020 along with corresponding surcharge amount provided that they would clear their pending dues upto March, 2020, if any by October 31, 2020.

Also, a rebate of 10 per cent would be admissible to those assesses who pay their total property dues upto October 31, 2020. 10 per cent additional rebate would be provided to those property owners who have deposited their property tax dues for the year 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 consecutively by July 31 of that year as a good tax payer reward for the year 2020-21.
