Panchkula, Chandigarh or Mohali?

By Panchkula4U editors · Updated · About Panchkula4U

The three cities of the tricity feel like one, but they sit in three different states and territories. Here is how Panchkula compares.

State Haryana Union Territory Punjab
Development authority HSVP, PMDA Estate Office, Housing Board GMADA

Choose Panchkula if

  • You want space, greenery and quick access to Morni, Pinjore and the hills.
  • You work in Panchkula, Chandigarh’s eastern side or along the Kalka road.
  • You are comfortable with Haryana paperwork, including the Family ID.

Things to know

  • Stamp duty, vehicle registration and many schemes follow Haryana rules.
  • Moving between the three means new utility accounts and, eventually, re-registering a vehicle.
