The House Owners Welfare Association (HOWA), led by chairman Bharat Hiteshi, has strongly opposed the imposition of property tax on parking areas in the city. Hiteshi and other association members met with Zonal Taxation Officer Akash Kapoor to discuss their concerns.

Panchkula Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal commented on the issue, assuring the public that no additional burden would be placed on them. He stated that tax notices sent to individuals would be corrected.
