• The Chandigarh Estate Office more than doubled its revenue recovery in FY 2025-26, collecting INR 335.05 crore, compared to INR 164.5 crore in the previous financial year.
• The increase was driven by stricter recovery of pending dues, improved enforcement and faster disposal of property-related cases.
• Collections also received a boost from property auctions, conversion charges and other estate-related receipts as the administration intensified efforts to improve revenue generation.
• Officials plan to continue the recovery drive and expand the use of digital systems to improve efficiency in property administration and revenue collection.
The Chandigarh Estate Office registered a sharp rise in revenue recovery during FY 2025-26, collecting INR 335.05 crore, more than double the INR 164.5 crore realised in the previous financial year. The increase of over 103% reflects the administration's intensified efforts to improve financial recovery and strengthen property administration across the Union Territory.
Officials attributed the higher collections to a focused drive for recovering long-pending dues from property allottees and lessees, coupled with stricter enforcement of estate regulations. The department also accelerated the disposal of pending cases and streamlined administrative processes, enabling faster resolution of property-related matters and improved compliance.
Revenue was further supported by receipts from property auctions, conversion charges and other estate-related transactions. The Estate Office also strengthened its digital initiatives, including online services and record management, which helped improve operational efficiency and made property-related services more accessible to citizens.
The improved performance comes as the Chandigarh administration continues to focus on enhancing non-tax revenue through better management of government-owned properties and systematic recovery of outstanding dues. Officials believe that sustained enforcement, regular monitoring and greater use of technology will help maintain the momentum in the current financial year.
According to the administration, the Estate Office will continue its recovery campaigns while pursuing reforms aimed at increasing transparency and efficiency in property management. The department is also expected to hold more property auctions and strengthen digital governance to improve service delivery and support future revenue growth.
