GNIDA switches to e-office to process files faster
The platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), allows officials to process, approve, and track files online from anywhere within Uttar Pradesh. GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has directed all departments to operate exclusively through the e-office framework.
The transition aligns with state government directives mandating e-office adoption across departments. It is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance investor confidence, especially as it integrates seamlessly with the Nivesh Mitra portal, UP's single-window clearance system for business approvals.
All online applications, including those via Nivesh Mitra, will now be handled digitally. This will streamline processes for licences, NOCs, and other approvals.
Over 55,000 physical files have been scanned and digitised to create a searchable repository. To facilitate the shift, around 160 GNIDA employees have been equipped with email IDs and digital signatures.
Additional CEO Prerna Singh said the e-office system ensures files are processed within a set timeframe. "It offers real-time status tracking, which boosts transparency, accountability, and convenience for citizens," she said.
The initiative is being implemented statewide under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPECL).

Only 52% industrial allotments functional: CAG
Noida: A CAG performance audit has exposed how Greater Noida Authority mismanaged industrial and Sports City land allotments over decades, creating massive unpaid dues and leaving ambitious projects incomplete. The audit found that unpaid dues from industrial plot allottees reached over Rs 630 crore, while another Rs 2,330 crore was stuck in the Sports City and Recreational Entertainment Park (REP) schemes. Together, they represent a staggering setback for the Authority, with projects often diverted from their intended public purpose. Between Jan 1991 and March 2021, GNIDA allotted 2,580 industrial plots covering 1,130 hectares, about one-fifth of its allotted land. Yet by April 2021, only 1,341 plots (52%) were functional, many after delays as long as 19 years. Just 147 plots (11%) met the original development timelines.

Over Rs 374 crore of these dues arose from allotments made between 2005–06 and 2020–21. Instead of cancelling allotments or recovering dues, GNIDA allowed defaulters to retain plots, in some cases, even enabling them to profit by transferring them to others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In Sector Ecotech-XI, 193 plots were allotted before the sector's development was complete. Lease deeds for 139 plots could not be signed due to litigation over land acquisition, which stalled roads and electricity. Instead of cancelling allotments, GNIDA waived penalties and extended deadlines, losing Rs 142 crore as deeds were later signed at outdated rates. The CAG found delays of up to 1,804 days in issuing lease deed checklists, resulting in a Rs 4 crore loss in lease rent, and failure to recover Rs 15 crore in charges for changes in shareholding. Weak eligibility norms until 2018 encouraged speculative trading, with allottees selling stakes before starting any industrial work. Launched between 2011 and 2014, the Sports City and REP schemes promised integrated sports infrastructure, golf courses, cricket academies, and facilities to host international events. None of the projects were complete as of March 2022. Four large land parcels were allotted under the schemes. Among them were Sports City-1 (Sector Techzone IV), where over 5 lakh sqm was allotted to MMR Construction for Rs 354 crore, and later split into 13 subdivisions. For Sports City-2 in Sector 27, 7 lakh sqm was given to Supertech Ltd for Rs 903 crore, and later divided into four sub-plots. For REP-1 in Sector 27, 4 lakh sqm was allotted to RBA Buildtech for Rs 327 crore and for REP-2 in Sector 27, 3 lakh sqm was given to Ultra Home Construction for Rs 382 crore—plot was later split into three sub-plots. Scheme rules mandated that 70–75% of the land be dedicated to sports/recreation. But by April 2021, 19 of 20 sub-allottees had defaulted, leaving Rs 2,330 crore unpaid. The brochures favoured real estate developers, requiring no prior sports infrastructure experience or detailed project reports. Sports bodies like BCCI or Sports Authority of India were never consulted. Consortium structures allowed inexperienced firms to qualify using partners' credentials, then exit after allotment. In Sports City-1, MMR Construction relied on NKG Infrastructure's credentials; NKG exited before lease signing, and MMR later abandoned one sub-project mid-way, violating rules. GNIDA removed the "lock-in" rule for Sports City-2 and REP-1, which had required lead members to retain a 30% stake until completion of a phase, making it easier for non-serious players to flip land. By permitting higher Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and more ground coverage for residential development, GNIDA gave allottees undue benefits worth Rs 470 crore. Another Rs 690 crore was lost by underpricing land and ignoring key cost factors. The focus shifted from sports to housing, with facilities reduced to token features — a small pool, a tennis court, or a putting green — meant only for residents, not public use. By March 2023, of 20 sub-allottees in Sports City and REP projects, five allotments were cancelled, and five opened escrow accounts. Ten had not opened escrow accounts despite notices. Rules in the brochures were inconsistently applied. GNIDA accepted incomplete Memorandums of Agreement between consortium members, failed to collect Rs 37.40 crore in "Change in Constitution" charges, and gave mortgage permissions despite large unpaid dues — a flawed practice followed since 2006. Even approved layouts did not safeguard large sports areas like planned golf courses. In the absence of clear technical standards, promised sports facilities never materialised, leaving the land primarily used for residential construction.

Cognizant to hike salaries for majority of employees from November 1
IT services company Cognizant has said it will hike salaries for a majority of employees effective November 1, bringing an end to the uncertainty that prevailed since the Nasdaq-listed firm held back from raising wages earlier this month due to macroeconomic headwinds. The company had assured in March that hikes will roll in from August. Last year, Cognizant provided hikes in the range of 1-5 per cent. The company has now said that 80 per cent of its eligible employees will be given a pay hike, in line with the policies adopted by all IT companies where the rest are awarded a raise based on business unit and company performance. That 20 per cent is usually senior and C-suite executives. 'This aligns with its announcement during its second quarter earnings that it plans to award merit-based salary increases for the vast majority of employees during the second half of 2025,' Cognizant said in a statement. The hikes will be delivered up to, and including, the senior associate levels. The amount of these increases will vary depending on individual performance rating and country. In India, pay increases for highest performers will be in the high single digits. There was no word on the amount of hike for onsite employees. Cognizant added 7,500 people during the second quarter and its headcount stood at 343,800 as of June 30 as the company hired fresh engineering graduates from Indian colleges. It usually gives hikes and bonuses in March but since Ravi Kumar became the chief executive, bonuses were retained for March while hikes were pushed back to August. Cognizant had in July said that it was yet to take a decision on salary increase. 'This decision was made with a long-term view that considers both investment in our people and the future of our business,' CFO Jatin Dalal told Business Standard during an earnings conference call. The decision comes a week after TCS, the largest IT services company in India, said it will hike salaries for its employees from September 1. The hikes were due in April. The compensation revision was for all eligible associates in grades up to C3A and equivalent, covering 80 per cent of our workforce.

CAG flags ₹13,362 crore loss in Greater Noida authority's operation delays
Noida/Lucknow: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has uncovered serious procedural lapses in the functioning of the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), citing irregularities in planning, land acquisition, pricing, and allotment that caused notional losses of ₹13,362 crore to the state exchequer. The findings, based on an audit conducted between December 2018 and November 2019, were tabled in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday by state parliamentary affairs minister Suresh Kumar Khanna during the ongoing Monsoon session. (Sunil Ghosh/HT Archives) The performance audit, covering the period from 2005-06 to 2017-18 and later updated to April 2021, found that irregularities in group housing plot allotments alone accounted for ₹10,732 crore in dues. These lapses not only drained state revenue but also delayed housing projects, leaving thousands of homebuyers in distress. According to the report, dues worth ₹19,500 crore were pending as of April 2021 for land premium, lease rent, and interest — largely from allotments made since GNIDA's inception in 1991. The findings, based on an audit conducted between December 2018 and November 2019, were tabled in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday by state parliamentary affairs minister Suresh Kumar Khanna during the ongoing Monsoon session. Vinod Kumar, GNIDA's general manager (finance), said corrective steps were being taken: 'Following the CAG report, we have revised our allotment policies to prevent errors in future. The staff is working on recovering the outstanding dues in line with the CAG's recommendations.' Major findings Between 2005-06 and 2014-15, GNIDA allotted 94 group housing plots — later subdivided into 186 — covering about 2,017 acres. No new allotments were made in this category after 2014-15. By April 2021, only 27 projects (18% of the targeted 148) were completed, while 95 allottees had not even partially completed construction. Many homebuyers have been waiting up to eight years for possession. Dues were pending from 81% of allottees, with ₹7,100 crore overdue for more than three years in 66 cases. Despite clear defaults, the authority failed to cancel these plots as required under allotment terms. The report also revealed that eight out of nine plot schemes launched during this period were initiated without prior board approval. In three cases, they were never even placed before the board for ex-post facto approval. The CAG concluded that GNIDA showed 'serious lapses of probity, integrity, and ethics,' failing to act against defaulting builders and its own officials. The situation reflected both poor enforcement and disregard for financial discipline. During land acquisition, officials misused urgency provisions meant for exceptional circumstances, sidestepping farmers' rights. Allotments were marred by selective relaxation of brochure conditions, underpricing of plots, reduction in allotment money, and permission to mortgage despite outstanding dues. Builders were allowed to subdivide, exit, or transfer plots before completing projects. The audit said officials acted 'in clear breach of public trust' and in 'complete disregard to the interest of GNIDA as well as ultimate buyers.' Other key lapses GNIDA, established under the UPIAD Act, 1976 to develop an industrial area near Delhi, was found to have prioritised residential development over its industrial mandate. Under the Master Plan 2021, land acquisition, development, and allotment between 2005-06 and October 2011 were undertaken without approval from the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB). By September 2019, residential land development stood at 104.04% of the planned area, while industrial land development lagged at 67.47%. Out of 2,580 industrial plots allotted from 1991 to March 2021, only 1,341 units (52%) were operational — with 1,194 of them functional after delays of up to 19 years. Nearly half of the industrial projects (48%) remained incomplete, undermining GNIDA's core objective of industrialisation and job creation. Frequent revisions in acquisition proposals, poor due diligence, and delays led to avoidable expenditures, including ₹527.84 crore in excess compensation and overpriced direct land purchases. Even when builders defaulted on payments long past the due period, GNIDA failed to cancel projects, encouraging profiteering through changes in allottee ownership. Dues worth ₹10,733 crore were pending as of April 2021. Audit scope The CAG audit, ordered by the UP government in July 2017, examined the effectiveness and transparency of GNIDA's land acquisition and allotment procedures across industrial, residential, commercial, sports city, institutional, IT, and farmhouse categories. It also reviewed master plan preparation, property pricing, and internal controls. The findings paint a picture of systemic failures at all levels — from the GNIDA Board to operational staff — with adverse consequences for the state's revenue, planned industrialisation, and the rights of farmers and homebuyers. Following the audit, GNIDA says it has made changes to its allotment policies and is pursuing recovery of pending dues. However, the CAG report stresses the need for stronger enforcement, transparent decision-making, and adherence to statutory requirements to prevent recurrence. The report also indirectly raises questions about whether GNIDA's administrative structure and governance framework are fit for purpose, given the concentration of decision-making power and the absence of robust oversight mechanisms. With billions in public money at stake and critical housing and industrial projects delayed for years, the CAG's findings add to growing concerns over governance and accountability in large development authorities across the country. .
