15th July 1948 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• The Princely states of Punjab which included Patiala, Nabha, Malerkotla, Jind, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Nalagarh, and Kalsia were combined and a new state "PEPSU" or Patiala and East Punjab States Union was formed on 15th July 1948
• After the independence, the status of princely states was given to the states that were ruled by the kings. All the provinces were formed into a state that was governed by the native ruler.
• Capital of PEPSU was Patiala and PEPSU was under a command of Sardar Pratap Singh Kairon who monitors the political & administrative decisions.
• Rulers of these states were given recognition by the British Crown in the form of Gun Salute (Patiala, Nabha, Faridkot, Jind, Kapurthala, and Maler Kotla).
• While the other two states, that is, Kalia & Nalagarh remained as the Non-Salute states.
