During a standing committee meeting on Wednesday, a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) corporator alleged that the citizen facilitation centre (CFC) of T-ward diverted cash paid by citizens for utility bills in order to launder black money. He demanded that an FIR be lodged against officials involve in the alleged illegal act, and that an inquiry of all 24 wards be carried out to find such malpractices elsewhere, if any.
MNS corporator Sandeep Deshpande alleged that Rs 2000 notes received as payment for utility bills from citizens was misused to convert black money into white. He also submitted details of cash received on November 16 at the CFC in T-ward and details of currency deposited in the bank to the standing committee chairman during the weekly meeting.
He alleged that the cash received and the amount deposited in the bank did not tally. Deshpande alleged, “I have records of number of Rs 2000 notes received on November 16 in a particular shift of the CFC, which was not deposited in the bank. The officials at the CFC deposited Rs 1000 notes instead of Rs 2000 notes.”
According to Deshpande, on November 16, the CFC in a single shift received a total of seven notes of Rs 2000 denomination, apart from other denomination notes. However, the money deposited in a bank does not reflect the Rs2000 notes as being deposited. “In that particular shift, the CFC received total Rs 4,87,125 in cash payment as utility bills for general, water and hospital fund in almost all denominations including coins. However, going through the details of bank deposit slips and receipts of payment, there is difference in number of currencies deposited to the bank,” said Deshpande.
“I have put the issue before the standing committee chairman and asked that corporation should take police action against the officials involved, or I will file an FIR,” said Deshpande.
Standing committee chairman Yashodhar Phanse assured members that an inquiry would be conducted.
