Punjab's Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema affirmed the government's commitment to fostering a supportive business environment while ensuring stringent tax compliance.
The Taxation Department has taken significant measures by attaching 136 properties valued at Rs 91.10 crore to recover outstanding pre-GST arrears. A One-Time Settlement (OTS) policy has been introduced to aid traders in clearing legacy dues.
Cheema highlighted that the OTS scheme is a crucial opportunity for amicable arrears resolution. However, authorities will not tolerate willful tax evasion, and auctions of attached properties will proceed if defaulters ignore the initiative.
