Corruption Issues in CIDCO

Vigilance Department: Located on the 6th floor of CIDCO Bhavan in Belapur, it is alleged to be ineffective against corruption.

Appointment Difficulties: Unlike other municipal officials, securing an appointment with the Managing Director (MD) of CIDCO is notably challenging.

Bribery: While CIDCO officials may not engage in illegal activities for money, they often require payments for legal actions that should be straightforward.

 
Filing an RTI (Right to Information) request is suggested to uncover the truth, but the online RTI portal has reportedly collapsed to avoid transparency.

Transfer Charges Details

Annual Increase: Transfer charges typically increase by 10% each year.

Calculation Basis: Charges are based on the carpet area of the property and its location.

Processing Time: CIDCO claims a processing time of 20 days, but it often extends to 1-2 months due to inefficiencies.

Legal Context

Land Ownership: All land in Navi Mumbai is owned by CIDCO, which operates as a long-term landlord (60-year leases). Any transfer of property requires CIDCO's approval.

Consequences of Non-Payment: If the previous owner has not paid the transfer charges, the new buyer is responsible for settling these charges. Always verify the payment status before purchasing.

New Corruption Tactics by CIDCO Staff

Demanding Additional Documents:
Officials are requesting physical copies of applications and extra documents beyond what is officially required on the CIDCO website.

These may include:
Share Certificate copy
Society Members List
Copy of Final Order

These demands are illegal.

Absolving CIDCO of Responsibility:

Applicants are required to submit an Indemnity bond, which absolves CIDCO of any liability.
This raises questions about why CIDCO needs these guarantees if they are not taking responsibility.

Frivolous Excuses:

Officials may claim the society is not uploaded.
If your society has a Final Order, it is CIDCO's responsibility to update records.

Requesting Personal Visits:
Applicants are asked to collect the NOC letter in person, citing excuses like "the mail server is down" or "documents were not uploaded."
This tactic aims to identify agents and extract bribes.
Rejected applications result in document deletion, making it difficult to verify if the documents were uploaded.

Handling the Rejection:

If an application is rejected due to "documents not being uploaded," the only recourse is to submit a fresh application.
Visit the CIDCO office promptly the next day to verify the upload status in person.
Request the official to write on the NOC that it was handed over in person because the mail server was down, along with the date, time, and signature. This is unlikely to happen.Online Complaint Portal:
The online complaint submission portal is available for reporting issues. 

However, there is no guarantee of satisfactory resolutions.

Time Limits for Issuing NOCs
CIDCO NOC: 21 Days
Mortgage NOC: 7 Days

Societies Without Conveyance

Conveyance is Mandatory: Conveyance of land and building in the society's name is compulsory for CIDCO Transfer.
Conclusive Proof: The Final Order is the conclusive proof of society conveyance. Without this document, no CIDCO transfer is possible.
