Action Against 300 Developers for Non-Payment of Development Fees
The Department of Town & Country Planning (DTCP) of Haryana government has put 300 developers on notice on account of default in clearing infrastructure development charges (IDC) to the tune of Rs 15000 crore.
DTCP has barred the defaulting developers from floating new projects as well as granting extension to their existing projects. Initially, action has been initiated against all those developers who owe Rs 20 crore or more to the authorities. They had either applied for the renewal of license or for fresh licenses for new projects.
The DTCP’s action comes in the wake of its inability to recover the dues. Over the past five years, despite various incentive schemes, the department could recover only Rs 1100 crore. Now it is under extreme pressure to recover the dues as due to scarcity of funds, infrastructure work is getting affected in various cities, especially the high potential city of Gurgaon which has the large number of defaulting developers.
