From Oct 1, Punjab Tightens Tax Recovery Rules for Vehicle and Property Dues

Punjab's Excise and Taxation Department will begin a crackdown on token and property tax defaulters from October 1, 2026, enforcing stricter recovery measures to meet a Rs.125 billion revenue target. Vehicle owners who remain in default after September 30 will face token tax recovery plus a 100% penalty, while property taxpayers lose a 5% concession after the deadline and commercial defaulters risk property sealing.
