SLUG: NON PAYMENT OF DUESAhmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) moved a proposal to cancel the allotment of a 6,495 sq m plot in Gota ward to the Gujarat govt’s GST department for constructing the office of the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax.The plot, valued at Rs 104.56 crore, was allotted last year. However, the proposal to revoke the allotment was moved because the GST department found the plot too expensive and did not make the payment for it for over a year. Subsequently, the AMC sought the standing committee’s approval to revoke the allocation. The Standing Committee will review the cancellation proposal on June 5.In Jan 2024, the AMC standing committee approved the allocation of the commercial plot (final plot 172, TP Scheme 32) in Gota ward at Rs 1.61 lakh per sq m. Despite receiving notification, the GST department failed to pay Rs 104.56 crore for the land.In a separate matter, the standing committee approved on July 8, 2010, the allocation of a 1,945 sq m plot (final plot 617, TP Scheme 29) in Narayanpura to the Deendayal Port Authority for a guest house. Although the port paid Rs 2.72 crore, no construction commenced. The plot’s current valuation ranges between Rs 35 to 40 crore. The port trust now wishes to surrender the plot, prompting a cancellation proposal to the AMC standing committee.Furthermore, the AMC transferred 20,958 sq m of service road land to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) a year ago. In Dec 2024, the AUDA Land Price and Fixing Committee established a rate of Rs 1 lakh per sq m. The civic body will collect Rs 209.58 crore for this land transfer, marking the largest such payment from the NHAI. The estate department will issue a demand notice, and a related proposal will be presented to the AMC Standing Committee.
