Fee and time
Any fee is fixed by the Government or by law and is taken against an official receipt. No amount or time limit is stated here. If the service is notified, confirm its time limit on the Aaple Sarkar portal or at the Gram Panchayat office.
Please note
This certificate concerns only Gram Panchayat taxes. It is not proof of ownership or of dues to any other office. A Gram Panchayat house-tax or assessment entry is not final proof of ownership. Ownership is shown by the sale deed, the mutation entry and revenue records (for example the 7/12 extract or property card), which are separate documents issued by the revenue department or the relevant authority.
