Good news for Delhi - no more parking fees in south Delhi malls, private hospitals


Here is some good news for Delhites. The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has issued a public notice indicating that henceforth, parking fee should not be collected in the premises of commercial complexes, malls and private hospitals.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 3 December 2015.
This notice is based on the proposal that was passed in the civic body's standing committee meeting nearly one month back.
As per the notice, the place earmarked for parking in commercial complexes, malls and private hospitals is free from floor area ratio (FAR) and, hence, no fee can be charged from the public.
An official has clarified that under the provisions of Master Plan 2021 and plans sanctioned by the corporation, the area reserved for parking cannot be put to commercial use. The fee collection, therefore, violates the corporation's rules.
Of course, a section of south Delhi residents think that if parking is made free then any and everyone will park their vehicles at malls, hospitals and commercial complexes which would lead to congestion. In their opinion, jams and congestion will worsen if charging parking fee is done away with.
