The department has also provided the facility of exemption for those landlords who pay the holding tax by the stipulated date. After this period, strict action will be taken against those landlords who do not follow the rules.

Rohtas: Kochas Nagar Panchayat of Rohtas district of Bihar has started strict action regarding the collection of city tax on high-rise buildings and residential plots built in various wards of the city. Executive Officer Om Prakash Singh said that all the residential plots built in the Nagar Panchayat and their owners are being identified for the collection of city tax. According to the rules, it is mandatory to pay tax not only on residential houses, but also on hotels, commercial establishments, schools and rented rooms etc. Despite this, there are many such homeowners who have constructed their residential plots and have been living there for years but have neither registered for city tax nor paid the holding tax. To make such people aware, Nagar Panchayat employees are reaching their homes.
Om Prakash Singh also said that the department has also provided the facility of exemption for those landlords who will pay the holding tax by March 31, 2026. After this period, strict action will be taken against those landlords who do not follow the rules. In this, a notice will be sent to them and if they do not pay the withholding tax, they may have to face fine and other legal action.
This step of the Nagar Panchayat has been taken to streamline the city tax collection and to register all residential and commercial properties. The aim of the administration is that every citizen of the city should follow the rules and pay the taxes on time so that the development of Nagar Panchayat and civic facilities can be improved.
The city administration has requested the citizens to register their residential plots on time and pay the holding tax. Doing this will not only protect them from any kind of legal trouble in the future but will also contribute to the development and better administration of the city. This effort of the administration is being made to ensure compliance with the rules in a transparent and equitable manner for all citizens.
