DDA DEDUCTS Rs. 5000 – DONOT INFORM REASON THEREOF

M K Gupta
The ways of DDA are unique. From the registrants of DDA Housing Scheme, 2008, it has deducted Rs 5000 from the registration money of some applicants and is not informing the reason thereof. One such victim, Mr. Amit Gupta (Form No. 229652) asked by filing RTI application on 16.5.009 about the reason on of deducting Rs 5,000, not giving interest on registration money in terms of the scheme and status of the inquiry about doubtful cases of submitting multiple applications. It is learnt that according to the findings of the inquiry, 1700 applicants have been found innocent i.e. they have submitted only one application. On not getting any response, Amit sent complaint to the Central Information Commission on 10.7.09.

Amit and a whistle-blower on the DDA Scam, M.K. Gupta two sent separate RTI applications to the Reserve Bank on 11.5.09 asking about the amount of refund to be sent to the applicants by the DDA to the ICICI Bank, they submitted their applications in that Bank. These applications were submitted to the RBI, as the RTI Act is not applicable to ICICI Bank but instead of taking this information from the Bank and supplying the same to the applicants as per RTI Act, RBI replied that the information is not available with it. Both have now filed first appeals with the RBI for getting this information.

Undersigned challenges the DDA for a public debate on the alleged DDA Scam. He has taken up some other issues related to the scam like contradictory information on the authenticity of software by the DDA, non-inclusion of names of about 1700 applicants found innocent in the inquiry about multiple applications, disclosure of the internal inquiry report and alleged allotments of flats on an applicant named Hema Meena (form No. 229147 in 2006 and 894215 in 2008) in all the three subsequent schemes i.e. 2004, 2006 and 2008.
