The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has issued a stern warning to allottees: resolve all outstanding dues by July 15, 2026, or face recovery proceedings. The board announced a 15-day public camp starting July 1 for verification and reconciliation of dues on leasehold, license, hire purchase, rental, and tenancy properties. Freehold properties are excluded.
Camp Details and Online Verification
The camp will be held from July 1 to July 15, 2026, on all working days between 11 am and 4 pm at the multipurpose hall on the sixth floor of the CHB office. Allottees and transferees of residential and commercial properties under CHB jurisdiction are required to first check their outstanding dues online at https://payonline.chb.gov.in/AccountStatement/Show before visiting the office. Those who notice discrepancies between the portal-displayed figures and their own records must bring original payment receipts and supporting documents for account reconciliation.
Final Opportunity for Dispute Resolution
CHB has emphasized that the reconciliation exercise will be treated as final. Once the July 15 deadline passes, the board will freeze outstanding dues based on its own records and issue demand notices for recovery, leaving no further room for allottees to contest the figures. According to a CHB official, “This is a one-time opportunity for allottees to get their accounts rectified. After the deadline, we will proceed with recovery as per our records.”
Historical Context and Significance
The move is significant given the large volume of CHB properties across Chandigarh held under non-freehold tenures. Long payment histories, partial settlements, and disputed ledger entries have historically created reconciliation backlogs. The board aims to clear these backlogs and streamline its financial records. The camp is expected to benefit thousands of allottees who have pending dues or discrepancies in their accounts.
What Allottees Should Do
- Visit the CHB portal to verify outstanding dues.
- If discrepancies are found, visit the camp with original receipts and documents between July 1 and July 15.
- Ensure reconciliation is completed before July 15 to avoid recovery notices.
CHB has urged all allottees to take the exercise seriously and clear their dues promptly to avoid legal action.
