of the Naval Staff/Base Commander in consultation with the Army Station
Commander) by orders in writing, to make his own arrangements for
accommodation. The Station Commander/Chief of the Naval Staff/Base
Commander may impose any condition to such permission and specify the period
for which the officer shall make his own arrangements.

b. In the case of an officer entitled to be provided with accommodation who is

unable or unwilling to make his own arrangements for accommodation,
arrangements may be made under the orders of the Station Commander (or in the
case of Navy/Air Force under the orders of the Chief of the Naval Staff/Base
Commander in consultation with the Army Station Commander) for the officer to
be provided with suitable unfurnished accommodation in a hotel/club, etc, if in the

consultation with the OC Station) except in the case of officers entitled to Class
W accommodation when the approval of the Corps/Div/Log Area/ Independent
Bde Commander shall be obtained. The OC Station (or in the case of Navy/Air
Force the Chief of the Naval Staff/Base Commander in consultation with the OC
Station) shall determine what proportion of the charges made by the hotel, etc,
may be allocated to rent. Decision on this point shall be based on the

by the OC Station (or in the case of Navy/ Air Force by the Chief of the Naval
Staff/Base Commander in consultation with the CC Station), except in the case of
officers entitled to class 'B' accommodation when the concurrence of the
Corps/Div/ Log Area/Independent Bde Commander will be obtained. The rent
fixed under such an arrangement shall not exceed the rent payable by the
Government for similar hired accommodation at the station. In a case in which the
rent is excessive, specific orders in writing of the Corps/Div/ Log Area
Commander in consultation with Controller of Military Account (or in the case of
Navy/Air Force of the respective Chief of the Staff in consultation with the CIPA
concerned) shall he obtained. The rent and other charges shall be paid direct to

cabin has been officially allotted is required to pay the normal charges and
his name shall be entered in the monthly accommodation return. The
distribution or adjustment of the rent shall be the responsibility of the

75. Assessment and Recovery of Taxes

a. Any building or land used or acquired for public service or for any public purpose
which is the property of or in occupation of the Government is exempt, under
clause (f) of sub-section (2) of section 99 of the Cantonments Act 1924 (11 of
1924) from any tax on property other than a tax imposed by a Cantonment Board
to cover the cost of specific services rendered by it. Neither the Government nor
the individual occupant of any such building shall be liable to pay any tax on
property. The liability for payment of taxes imposed on the annual value of the
property leased, hired or requisitioned for Government purposes shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of sub section (2) of section 65 of
the Cantonments Act 1924 (11 of 1924) and in case of failure to recover any sum
due on account of such taxes from the owner/owners, the concerned Cantonment
Executive Officer may recover the same from the Government and the
Government shall deduct the amount so paid from the rent payable to the
owner/owners.

Notes: - 1 . The Government of Pakistan have accepted liability for the

payment of conservancy tax on behalf of the troops in
Cantonments. The troops themselves are, therefore, in practice,
exempt from the payment of this tax. Civil police employed in the
safeguarding of defence establishments and paid from the Defence
Estimates will, for the purpose of this exemption be treated as
troops. Government of Pakistan have also accepted liability for ~
the payment of conservancy charges, including conservancy tax,
for Nursing Officers/Nurses of the Military Nursing Services who
are exclusively in military employment, and unauthorised followers
of units, corps, department, etc. and such other individuals of
small means who are allowed by the OC Station to work and live
in barrack areas or unit lines for the benefit of the troops or their
families. The military authorities make lump sum payments to the

ment or Municipal authority concerned for services rendered by the latter

to entitled military personnel, and other non-entitled followers and
individuals of small means.

An individual of small means in this instance is a person in whose

case rent for Government accommodation is either reduced or remitted
altogether whilst the authority competent to sanction such a reduction or
remission of rent is also the competent authority to exempt the individual
from the payment of conservancy tax and other conservancy charges.

Conservancy charges will, however, be levied on all other

non-entitled persons residing in barrack areas or unit lines, irrespective of
whether the accommodation occupied by them is used for residential or
business purposes, at a rate corresponding with the conservancy or
similar tax levied by the local cantonment or municipal authority on private
persons residing in Cantonment or Municipal limits.

The Government of Pakistan have also the troops under section

99-A of the Cantonments Act 1924, from the payment of street lighting
tax and have accepted no liability to pay this tax on their behalf.

The actual exemption, therefore, depends on the issuance of A

notification, in the official Gazette, by the Federal Government in respect
of each cantonment.

As regards water tax, see Chapter X.

2. Miscellaneous taxes which do not fall under the above headings, e.g.
octroi, dog tax, etc , exemptions are regulated by the provisions of section
99-A of the Cantonment Act, 1924 (11 of 1924).

3. The essential character of a tax on property is that the, liability to

pay the tax arises from the bare ownership or occupation of the
property situated within the Cantonment or a specified part of the
Cantonment.

4. The rates of the taxes for services rendered, that is to say,

conservancy tax, lighting tax or tax on vehicles may be fixed in the
same way as those on the annual value of property but they are
not taxes on property, and they, therefore, come under a different
procedure for purposes of exemption.

5.. For the purpose of obtaining partial remission or refund of tax

(e.g. under section 76 of the Cantonments Act, 1924) the
expression "tax assessed on the annual value of buildings" may
include taxes of both categories if they are imposed on the annual
value of property; such as house tax, tax for services rendered,
conservancy or water tax.

b. Municipal taxes on military buildings or on buildings hired by the Defence

Department for authorised purposes, other than on quarters, are payable from the
Defence Services Estimates.

c. Taxes, which are, by local rule or custom, leviable on the tenants are payable by
the occupant during his occupancy unless otherwise ordered by the Government
of Pakistan, even though he be entitled to rent free quarters (see also rule (d), (e)
and (f) below and rule 74.

d. When soldiers occupy public quarters outside a Cantonment, any house, ground,
street lighting or conservancy tax levied by a Municipality will be paid from
Defence Services Estimates. But see rule 77 regarding water taxes.

e. Rates or taxes in the nature of house or property tax, which, by local rule or
custom, are leviable on the owner will be paid from the Defence Services
Estimates in respect of buildings owned by the State. For buildings hired by the
State such taxes will be paid from Defence

Services Estimates only when the payment thereof by the State forms a condition
of the lease. In either case these taxes will be treated as part of the assessed rent
of the building.

Rates or taxes in the nature of service taxes, e.g, water, conservancy, or

lighting tax, which, by local rule or custom, are leviable on the owner will, in the
case of all military buildings, whether owned, hired, leased or appropriated under
the Cantonments (House-Accommodation) Act, 1923 (VI of 1923),be recovered
from the tenant in full, except when otherwise provided for (see also rule 35 (m)).

For Government owned military buildings in a cantonment composed of

several tenements the service taxes will be allocated in the manner indicated in rule
35 (k) and the State will be liable for the portion of the taxes in respect of any
vacant unit(s). The Cantonment Board shall record in the assessment list the
annual rental of each such separate tenement so that the necessary remission of
service taxes in respect of vacant tenements may be claimed under the
Cantonments Act, 1924. These provisions will also apply to hired buildings,
except that no remission can be claimed in their case.
