Government owes Air India Rs 1,371 crore: RTI
By MYBRANDBOOK
RTI has revealed that the government owes Air India a sum of Rs 1,371.14 crore for various travels by VIPs over the last several years.
However, Air India has provisioned for only one-fifth of the amount due—worth Rs 282 crore, and reveals the reply to a Right to Information (RTI) query by Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd).
Of the total sum due, the government of India owes Air India Rs 845.04 crore for the travel of the 'very very important persons' (VVIPs). The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) owes the highest amount to the airline—Rs 473.88 crore, followed by the Ministry of Defence (Rs 261.76 crore) and Ministry of External Affairs (Rs 109.41 crore). Air India hasn't made any provisions over the amount due from the government on account of VVIPs. The non-VVIP travel that includes the travel of the government departments amounts to Rs 526.14 crore.
Almost half of the sum of this around Rs 236.15 crore has been due for more than three years. In the past year, the dues from the government departments have bulged by Rs 167 crore.
The airline has started recovering the money from them. Air India has stopped giving credit to any department that owes them more than Rs 10 lakhs as of now. This will help them in the recovery.
