Other key proposals
Government of Delhi has constituted the Delhi Dispute Resolution Society with the objective to establish institutionalized mechanism of alternate dispute resolution. I propose to frame a mechanism of mediation to resolve disputes of Sales Tax / Value Added Tax cases by appropriately amending the DVAT Act, 2004.
Subsidy
Speaker Sir, you may recall that Government of India enhanced the price of domestic LPG by Rs. 50/- in June, 2008. To lessen the burden on consumers, Government of Delhi decided to provide a subsidy of Rs. 40/- on domestic LPG cylinder (14.2 Kg.). Due to this, Government of Delhi is bearing a burden of approximately Rs. 160/- to Rs. 170 crores per annum. However, as the prices of LPG have been reduced by the Central Government in 2009, therefore, I propose to withdraw this subsidy.
Stamp & Registration
The registration fee charged on various documents under Indian Registration Act, as applicable to Delhi, is meager. The maximum registration fees is Rs. 100/- in NCT of Delhi. It is proposed to bring it at more realistic level by raising maximum registration fee to Rs. 500/- and registration fees in other slabs will also be enhanced proportionately. It is likely to generate additional revenue of Rs. 6 crores
