On March 30, Jaiprakash Associates (JAYPEE) paid Rs 10 crore against the dues and assured YEIDA to clear the remaining Rs 600 crore against the allotment of land on the Yamuna Expressway by August 31. YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh said the authority has given a deadline of April 15 to pay at least 15% of the outstanding amount to reschedule the repayment. He said that if the company failed to pay the amount by April 15 dead line, the authority will be left with no choice but to cancel the allotment”. He said the part payment of Rs 10 crore will not help and the company will have to pay the rest of the amount also to re- schedule the repayment.
Singh said the authority has sent similar letters to other defaulting developers also to pay the 15% of the outstanding to reschedule the payments of dues. The authority has a total of over Rs 800 crore in dues from other developers.
He said the authority is rescheduling payments of developers with a condition that they would complete the construction works for the units they sold within the next one year. As most of the developers have launched projects around three years ago, they must complete them by 2018. The Jaypee management could not be contacted for their response.
