Patiala civic body fails to recover tax from PSPCL

Already low on tax collection and funds, the Patiala Municipal Corporation has failed to recover municipal tax on consumption, use or sale of electricity from PSPCL for the past three years.

The revelation has come in the office’s response to an RTI application. The tax collection, which started in 2017, stopped after August 2018. The MC also does not have details of the current pending amount.
