Development authority secretary Vivek Srivastava confirmed that the LDA Board has previously approved an annual penalty of Rs 2.5 per square foot for such cases. For instance, the owner of a 2,200 square-feet plot will have to pay Rs 5,500 every year until construction begins or a plot is secured with a boundary wall.
