Flat owners in Haryana resent 'restructured' house tax

CHANDIGARH: Thousands of agitated flat owners in Haryana are up in arms against the state government for levying "restructured" house tax and have demanded that tax be calculated using the old formula.
Representatives of house owners associations of group housing complexes from across the state have sought special hearing sessions from the three-member committee, working for rationalization of property tax in commercial and residential properties.
According to the owners, as the government is calculating tax using the new formula, they are made to pay twice the amount they used to pay earlier.Industries and parliamentary affairs minister Randeep Singh Surjewala heads the committee, having Rohtak MLA B B Batra and Hisar MLA Savitri Jindal as members. The committee was constituted earlier this month and will give its recommendations in a month.
