New Delhi: The Civil Aviation Ministry has ruled out the possibility of amending the Airports Authority of India (Major Airports) Development Fees Rules, 2011, which allowed the levy of development fee by private airports.
The Opposition has moved amendments to the rules in the Rajya Sabha saying that the Government should not levy development fee from the passengers. The matter, which could not be taken up in the winter session, is likely to be considered during the current session of Parliament.
In a letter to the CPI (M) MP, Mr K.N. Balagopal, who has moved the amendments in the Upper House, the Civil Aviation Minister, Mr Ajit Singh, said that the rules framed are in accordance with the provisions of the Airports Authority of India Act and are legally in order.
Mr Balagopal had challenged the Government's decision to allow the private airports to levy development fee.
