At least 11 five-star hotels in the National Capital, including the iconic Taj Palace and Claridges, are on the tax defaulter list of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) with their total dues amounting to ₹320 crore.
The civic body, in a report prepared at the end of the 2016-17 fiscal, has identified these hotels among 166 alleged defaulters, which have dues pending above ₹10 lakh for the last four years.
However, according to NDMC officials, all the hotels have moved court challenging the tax assessment and any further action by the civic body cannot be taken since the matter is sub judice.
“On the defaulter list are hotels like Taj Palace (₹42 crore), The Leela (₹18 crore), Claridges (₹4 crore) among others, the highest being Delhi Golf Club, which owes NDMC ₹700 crore,” said a senior NDMC official from the taxation department.
