For 1st time, AI refuses tickets to govt agencies that owe it over Rs 10 lakh
MUMBAI: Fund-starved Air India has decided to stop issuing tickets for official travel to personnel of government agencies that owe it over Rs 10 lakh. “The dues of various government agencies to Air India for ticket purchases add up to Rs 268 crore,” said an airline source.
For the first time in its decades-long existence, AI has chalked up a list of its sarkaari defaulters and their dues. And it’s a who’s who of the establishment, including the CBI, IB, Enforcement Directorate, Customs commissioners, Central Labour Institute, Indian Audit Board, Controller of Defence Accounts, and Border Security Force.
