Bare Act

The Punjab Municipal (Haryana Octroi Surcharge Validation) Act, 1969

This Act legalizes the imposition and collection of an octroi surcharge by the Hissar Municipal Committee in Haryana for the period between June 1954 and February 1962. Octroi is a local tax levied on goods brought into a municipal area for entry, consumption, or sale. By retroactively validating the earlier government notification that set these rates, the law protects the municipality and its officials from legal claims. It applies to the Municipal Committee of Hissar, local taxpayers, and courts. This measure matters because it bars individuals from demanding tax refunds and nullifies any judicial orders requiring the return of collected funds.
