Sub: PARKING POLICY FOR DELHI –DISCUSSION BY STF
Honorable Chair and Members of STF.
Dwarka Sub-city population is bigger than Chandigarh with approximately 15 KM Radius and 5648 Hector Area and 396 KM Road Length. Currently Dwarka Sub-City (Sector 1 to 26). The density of population is around 160-200 per H a. Dwarka have over 300 CGHS and over 50 DDA Pocket RWA's.
We given to understand that you are envisaged to work on Parking Policy ?
We have the following submission:
- Why the Govt/MCD/Authorities not discriminate Delhi Registered vehicles who pays higher Parking Charges and Registration Charges at the time of Registration and pays equal parking charge for a vehicle coming from Gurgaon or other states or registered other states and illegally operated in NCT Delhi.?
- The Residents of Dwarka are different from other places as each every residents flat owner have one or more DEDICATED Parking slot in his CGHS/DDA Pocket bought for higher premium such as Rs. 2 Lakh onwards. They are treated with a person resides in Munirka who uses public land as parking or person in Karol Bagh.
- ECS- The Policy like Master Plan 2021 passed. However, till date the DDA Building department or MCD Building department not take action while Completion Certificate issue to adhered Equal Car Space for Sq. Mtr constructed.
- Then there are builders who build as per plan parking lots within commercial areas then convert into storage or office space and compel the visitors to park on open roads or pedestrian paths.
- MOST DANGEROUS: The MCD/NDMC/DDA allowing illegal parking that too on small roads or on the Pedestrian paths.
We also note failed to see a SINGLE RWA representative in these STF, this should have considered to include RWA/MTA etc for wider consultation and take ground input from all respective area RWA's.
We hope your next meeting will take these point into consideration for discussion.
Will you be available for a response in this matter ?
Regards,
Thanking you,
Yours truly,

Ranjan Saab,Thanks for the initative on Parking.Please note the DESCRIMINATION factor on Delhi Regd vehicle charged Rs 2000 and Rs. 4000 for new vehilce and all other charges where as non Delhi Vehilce in Delhi pays equal parking charges.This must be looked into new policy which you plan to get implimented.Also concerning large scale Illegal parking Lots and unauthorised collection.1. Let all the authorised parking of MCD/NDMC/DDA be available on Websites or respective agencies where a Driver know through MAP which is authorised or not http://app.mapmyindia.com/mcdApp/2. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE NO PEDESTRAIN paths or Road Side should be allowed as PARKING Lots. Respect the ECS(Equal Car Space for 100Sqmtr) provision of MPD 2021 let all building provide required parking.3. MCD received over Rs. 266,234,9710 as one time Parking Charges from New Vehilces through Trasport Department from 2004 to March 2009.

To: Commissioner MCD and MCD Standing Committe Chairman,Sir, We would much appreciate the iniatives of MCD recently to find solution to the leakage of revneue.One option of Parking regularisation and other is the increase the Parking charge for non Delhi Regd vehicles. As this would help both state govt, MCD and you will be doing justice to your Delhi citizen.Logic simple: If you or me buys a new car we pay Rs.4000 which is going to MCD for new parking building etc. What about lakhs of HR/UP/PB or other state registered vehicles ? Logically and legally you can impose little higher parking charge from such vehicles for example if Rs.10 for Delhi, charge Rs. 20 for non Delhi Vehicles.We have earlier suggest to exempt vehicle owners have dedicated parking in their CGHS/DDA Pockets of Dwarka in future from Rs. 4000/- charges.I hope you will consider this with proper evaluation/consultation.thanking you,Rejimon CKDwarka Forum.Date: Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 5:26 PM

Smt. Shiela DixitCheif MinisterNCT Delhi.Madam,
We read your comments on recent NCR Board throug media. We agree to your suggestion the outside Delhi registered vehicles are on high as compared to Delhi. We all know the reason, in Delhi the charge at the time of registering a new vehicle on various tax/non-taxcomponents are highest. Where as the neighbouring states charges very less resulting many Delhilites misuse and take advantage. It is also noted sizeble number of commercial vehicles are also registered outside Delhi whereas they operate in Delhi.In view of the CWG there will be many commercial vehicle for tourist purpose will be operating. Also more vehicle from neighbouring NCR Town will be coming to Delhi for events and pre-events. This would add more jams. As the Delhi govt and GOI already contributed financially the METRO project and which is reaching to Gurgaon, Noida, Gaziabad. Thefore, there is no no need of many of these vehicles coming to Delhi Central Districts. If one wants let them pay the equal charges(See the comparison of Delhilites who pays advance Rs. 4000 for his car + every time he pays equal parking charge like non-Delhi registered vehicles).Suggestion:The MCD/NDMC/DDA could increase the parking fee by at least double for non delhi registered vehicles ? As Delhi registered vehicles are already paying advance parking charges at the time of registration.This would also help our civic agencies to sustain on funding.May we request your good office to give suitable directions to Commissioner MCD/NDMC and DDA to do the needfull and bring this policy before the Common Wealth Games ?
We appreciate the CMO acknowledge this email and revert to us on any comments/reply/review.Thanking you,Rejimon C KPresident-Dwarka Forum(Regd).cc: Jt. CP -Traffic and Jt. Direct- Planning (UTTIPEC)---------- Forwarded message ----------

Dear Sir,The MCD estimated Rs. 10 crore from the new parking policy(July 04) where as it got more than expected(Rs. 266 crore from just 4 years?).While going through information received brought to the fact that :1. The MCD have not sought public opinion on the policy.Suggestion: Please develop policy to put up for public opinion/suggestion through website and notices in future.2. The Vehicle owners who already owns dedicated parking area in various CGHS/RWA Pockets are descriminated. Where as an approximate over 20% vehicle on Delhi roads are non Delhi Regd Vehicles which neither pays any Parking Fee nor pay any HIGH charge as compared to Delhi Regd vehicles who pays DOUBLE pay when parked on MCD approved parking areas during the day times. Come and visit Dwarka Sub-City where 100% vehicles are parked on the owners paid area not on common public road/areas.Suggestion:
MCD should think of either exemting the Delhi Regd vehicle with clear Parking area designated. Subject to documentary evidence such as building plan or Society Office letter of allotmetn or in case of DDA flats DDA allotment Letters.MCD not constructed single modern parking lot in Dwarka nor in Najafgarh area to our knowledge.The Sector 7 -Ramphal Chowk area is under MCD, where multi level parking is required urgently be considered.MCD should charge 50% more parking fee (instead of Rs. 10 for parking the non delhi vehicles should be charge Rs. 20/- depend upon Vehicles Regd No. This will increase the revenue of MCD.3. It is also brought glaring fact that the RPC through F33/RPC/950/C&C date 1/7/2004. exempted the Taxis and Auto Rikshaws. The reason for exeption is not recorded anywhere? These taxis and auto rikshaws actually parked on roads or on public encroached lands all time. Moreover they are on commercial purpose.Suggestion:The exemption given to them to be relooked. The exemption for Two wheelers are genuine.However, the taxis and others must be charged high as well as the rates for Buses/trucks are also much less in comparison with cars.Appreciate the Add. Commissioner -RP Cell /Revenue in consultation with CLO and Commissioner MCD relook and revert on the above submission.thanking you,Rejimon C K.President(Dwarka Forum).
