Amid crackdown, SRA collects 1,386cr rent from bldrs in 3 yrs; 646cr still due
Mumbai: In a major crackdown on builders defaulting on payment of rent to slumdwellers, Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has collected dues of Rs 1,386 crore in nearly three years—Rs 601 crore under regular schemes, Rs 134 crore under its amnesty scheme and Rs 650 crore under a new circular that requires builders to deposit advance rent for two years with the agency. As per data released by SRA, of the Rs 880-crore rent dues from regular projects, Rs 279 crore is yet to be collected, and the total dues from 23 projects under the amnesty scheme has dropped from Rs 501 crore to Rs 367 crore. The data was released on the heels of the state legislature passing an amendment to Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971, that would allow SRA to attach a company's property or that of its directors/partners if it doesn't have sufficient assets, sell it and pay the money as rent to slumdwellers. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai SRA CEO Mahindra Kalyankar said that the amendment would help fact-track SRA schemes and make sure that slumdwellers get their rent on time. "We have given a big push to collect all pending rents from builders so that slumdwellers don't suffer. While SRA is fast-tracking slum redevelopment, we are focusing on slum tenants and making sure that they get their dues and projects are completed on time. We have made several policy interventions for this and recent amendments made are a step in this direction," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

"Under Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, govt can attach and sell a defaulter's movable and immovable property to recover dues. In some cases, the bank accounts or lockers of a defaulter may be attached. Right now, SRA can only issue stop-work notices to the builder for not paying rent or stop giving new permissions. There is no deterrent of any kind beyond that and because of this, builders don't pay rent," an official said.

Ed attaches shares worth Rs 127cr in Panchkula-based Alchemist and Ojas hospitals
Chandigarh: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Delhi Zonal Office, on Wednesday claimed to have provisionally attached shares worth Rs 127.33 crore in two immovable properties – Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital – located in Panchkula under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. These properties are beneficially owned by Karan Deep Singh. The attachment forms part of an ongoing money laundering investigation involving M/s Alchemist Group, its directors, promoters, and associated entities, in relation to alleged large-scale fraud and misappropriation of public funds, the ED mentioned in a release. The ED had initiated the investigation into the case based on an FIR initially registered by the Kolkata Police and subsequently by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and ACB Lucknow under Sections 120-B and 420 of the Indian Penal Code against M/s Alchemist Township Pvt Ltd, M/s Alchemist Infra Realty Pvt Ltd, and promoter/directors of the Alchemist Group, including Kanwar Deep Singh and others. The case pertains to alleged large-scale criminal conspiracy to defraud investors by illegally raising funds through fraudulent collective investment schemes, offering unusually high returns, and/or making false promises of allotting plots, flats, and villas. Through these deceptive investment schemes, M/s Alchemist Holdings Ltd and M/s Alchemist Township India Ltd illegally collected approximately Rs 1,848 crore from unsuspecting investors and subsequently misappropriated the funds for unauthorised purposes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo ED investigation revealed that the misappropriated funds were systematically layered through complex financial transactions involving group entities of the Alchemist Group, with the intent to conceal the illicit origin of the funds. These tainted proceeds were ultimately used for the acquisition of shares and subsequent construction of Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital. The transactions were deliberately structured to project these assets as legitimate, thereby disguising the proceeds of crime. The shares of Alchemist Hospital and Ojas Hospital are held to the extent of 40.94% and 37.24%, respectively, by M/s Sorus Agritech Pvt Ltd, a company beneficially owned by Karan Deep Singh, son of Kanwar Deep Singh. Earlier in the case, Kanwar Deep Singh was arrested by the ED on Jan 12, 2021. Thereafter, a prosecution complaint was filed by the ED before the Special Court (PMLA), New Delhi, on March 2, 2021. Also, a supplementary prosecution complaint was filed on July 19, 2024. The ED has already provisionally attached movable and immovable properties worth Rs 238.42 crore through five separate provisional attachment orders. Further investigation is in progress.
