Preparation was on to sell out five shops in the second floor and 6 in the 3rd floor and the area constructed for office purpose in the City Centre Mall. Some office had made preparation to sell these shops secretly and issued tender notice also. On the exposure of the issue, it has come to know that the deal was struck with the intention of reaching profit of crores of rupees to some people. On being objected RDA chairman Sunil Soni cancelled the complete process.
The proposed offset value of five shops in the second floor and 6 in the 3rd floor and the area constructed for office purpose in the City Centre has been amended. Rs 3046 per sft has been increased for 2nd floor and Rs 2746 per sft for 3rd floor. With this RDA will get Rs 11.32 crore profit at basic level. As per the amendment, the minimum rate of 2nd floor will be Rs 11,103 per sft and the minimum rate of 3rd floor Rs 10,045 per sft.
