Law Ministry's advice sought on amending rule for airport fee

New Delhi:The Rajya Sabha Secretariat is understood to have sought the Law Ministry's views on whether it could take up amendments to a rule relating to charging of airport development fee after the mandatory 30-day period for carrying out these changes is over.
The matter relates to amending the Airports Authority of India (Major Airports) Development Fee Rules, 2011, which authorise private-led airport operators to charge DF after an order passed by the regulator, Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA).
The issue came up after a scheduled discussion on a Statutory Motion was not allowed to be held in Rajya Sabha on Friday with Deputy Chairman K Rahman Khan saying it cannot be taken up as any amendment of rules should be debated and decided within 30 days and that deadline had elapsed by a day.
