Today morning my Dad told me he has to visit Zirakpur’s Property Tax department to pay his property tax. He also mentioned that one of his friend will be accompanying him as he has to pay his property tax too.
I asked my Dad, can’t we pay property tax online? Do you really have to go to an office to pay the property tax? I got an answer that it’s not that straightforward to file Punjab tax online, that’s why visitng a tax office is necessary.
I told my Dad give me 30 minutes to try for online payment of property tax. To be very frank he was right, main caveat to pay online tax in Punjab is to get to the right website link for property tax payment, else you might hit the frustration wall soon.
I was fortunate enough to get to the correct link, it took me hardly more than 5 minutes to pay his property tax.
Accordingly, based on the lessons learnt, I noted all the steps to put them on a blog to help someone how is still visiting property tax office to pay his taxes 🙂
