The
NDMC says that the rent was fixed by the CPWD more than two decades ago.
Now it is time to revise that rate.
LOK NAYAK
BHAVAN: The Directorate of Estates occupies six floors in the building
and has piled up arrears of Rs 76.34 crore. It also houses the Official
Languages Department of the Home Ministry and owes the NDMC Rs 3.89 crore
in rental arrears and interest.
Mayur
Bhavan: The Income-Tax Department has its office in this building
located in Connaught Place, the bustling commercial and shopping centre
in the heart of the city. The department has accumulated arrears of Rs
16.64 crore in rent and interest.
Palika
Bhavan: The public sector Ircon International, which has an office
here, has moved court against the NDMC notice for recovery of Rs 1.59
crore in rent. NDMC says that it is justified in enhancing the rent because
the NDMC Act permits a 10 per cent annual increase.
Akbar
Bhavan: Once a five-star hotel, it now houses offices. Five floors
are occupied by divisions of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), including
the Bureau of Security, the SAARC Division and the Protocol Division.
NDMC says MEA owes it Rs 51.22 crore.
