Pandurang said the decision to refer such cases to the revenue authorities has been taken, because despite providing relief from time to time, some developers and colonisers have failed to pay the External Development Charges (EDC) and Infrastructure Development Charges (IDC) to the government.

He said the Town and Country Planning Department grants licence, for setting up residential plotted colonies, group housing colonies, commercial colonies, colonies with Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology-enabled Service (ITeS), under the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 and Rules 1976.
In order to provide town-level infrastructure, the developers are required to pay EDC and IDC. “Some developers, however, have failed to pay these charges and had requested for the deferment of the payments. The requests were considered and EDC relief policies were formulated from time to time and the reliefs were provided. Yet, some colonisers and developers defaulted in the payments,” he said.
He said taking note of that, the proceedings for the cancellation of licence were initiated from May 2017. The notices were issued and the opportunity of personal hearing was also granted as per the rules. “The recovery of the outstanding dues, however, was not encouraging. The Department has now started referring all such cases for recovery of arrears of land revenue, to the revenue authorities,” he added.
