Ensure early disposal of issues related to industries: IIDC

LUCKNOW: Infrastructure and industrial development commissioner Alok Tandon on Monday directed all departments associated with industries to take responsibility for their action and resolve issues as per guidelines within a fixed timeframe.
He said industrial development was the priority of the government and chief minister Yogi Adityanath had given strict instructions to settle all issues at the earliest.
Addressing a meeting of Udyog Bandhu on Monday, Tandon and other senior officials reviewed 17 cases, including a complaint by Rice Millers Exporters Association of Ghaziabad. The association said it was not getting exemption from mandi fee in import of paddy and export of rice out of the state. The association was informed that as per a notification issued by the state government, mandi fee will not be payable in trade areas outside mandi yards and the scope of the mandi committees has been limited to mandi complexes.
On another issue related to payment of stamp duty on amalgamation of land, it was clarified that stamp duty will be payable on the consideration of additional processing fee deposited in cases of amalgamation of plots. If amalgamation has been done without payment of processing fee, a stamp duty of Rs 100 has to be paid in the supplementary deed.
Hathras industries raised concern regarding high monthly electricity bills as billing was done on KWH and KWA parameters. The IIDC directed the UP Power Corporation Ltd to find technical solution to the issue and make appropriate provision in billing software within a month.
