752 CR LOOT PDF Print E-mail

Ludhiana, 07th September, 2008 

Honourable Sd. Prakash Singh Badal Ji,

This is to bring to your kind attention a major “Advertising Scandal” of 752 Crores by the Oil Companies in connivance with the Officers of Municipal Corporations of Punjab. Oil Companies across India have installed Flex Hoardings to advertise their Products but till date they haven’t paid any Advertisement Tax applicable upon these Hoardings. There are over 68388 Retail Outlets all over India of which 5226 Retail Outlets

are commissioned in Punjab.  These Retail Outlets have erected Flex Hoardings with an average 1000 sq. feet advertising space apart from other advertisement spaces such as Glow Facia and Signages which means Advertisement Tax on 52,26000 sq feet advertisement space is fleeced by these Oil Companies.

This further calculates to a whooping loss of over 125 Crores per annum to Punjab Government only. Considering an average age of meager 6 years of these hoardings, as most of them were installed during Captain Amarinder Singh’s regime this amounts to a loss of over 752 Crores to the state exchequer.

It is humbly requested that a CBI enquiry be ordered immediately and responsibility of erring and corrupt officials of these oil companies and Municipal Corporations be fixed and guilty be booked as per the rulebook. He further added that “Advertisement Mafia” is hand in glove with certain officials of Municipal Corporation and they are openly flouting landmark judgments of Honourable Punjab and Haryana High Court wherein the Honourable Court had banned any Hoarding within 100 m from any important road and demanded that the Government should immediately intervene to curb the menace and book the guilty.

Sincere Regards
