What happened

IANS reported on July 16, 2026, citing sources, that the Delhi Jal Board asked the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for five years of building-plan records after a review of two years of records found the Infrastructure Fund Charge (IFC) had not been deposited in about 70 per cent of cases; the probe targets plans and layouts allegedly approved without the charge. Separately, on July 30, 2026, Millennium Post reported that Delhi Jal Board Minister Parvesh Verma said notices were going to 1,125 commercial properties with pending IFC dues, with an August 15 payment deadline. The figures come from unnamed sources and ministerial statements; no audited findings have been published, and no MCD response was found.
