DSIDC gave me an allotment letter for an industrial plot over 10 years ago but the conveyance deed has not been executed. What can an RTI establish?

You can file an RTI asking for the specific reason the conveyance deed has not been executed despite allotment letter no. [XXX] dated [DD/MM/YYYY], the name and designation of the officer responsible for processing the conveyance deed, any pending dues or conditions that DSIDC says must be cleared first, and whether any show-cause notice or cancellation proceeding has been initiated against your allotment. The RTI response creates an official record of DSIDC's stated reason for the delay, which you can then use to approach the Delhi High Court, DSIDC's Grievance Cell, or the Department of Industries, GNCTD, for escalation.

How do I know whether a Delhi industrial plot was allotted by DSIDC or by DDA — and does it matter for RTI?

It matters significantly. DSIDC allots industrial plots in estates it developed — Bawana, Narela, Patparganj, Okhla (some phases), Lawrence Road, Wazirpur, Jhilmil, Badli, Mangolpuri, Rani Khera, and others. DDA allots industrial plots primarily under its own land-use plans in areas such as Flatted Factory Complex (Okhla) and some sectors under DDA's industrial zone. Check your original allotment letter: if it is on DSIDC letterhead, file the RTI at rti.delhi.gov.in (Delhi State body; second appeal: Delhi Information Commission). If the allotment letter is from DDA, file at rtionline.gov.in (Central Government body; second appeal: Central Information Commission). Filing with the wrong authority will result in transfer or rejection and cost you time.

I want to sell my DSIDC industrial plot to a buyer. What can an RTI establish about the transfer process?

You can file an RTI asking whether your transfer application (with the date it was submitted) has been received and registered by DSIDC, the current stage of processing and the officer assigned, any objection or deficiency notice that has been raised, whether a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) has been issued or is pending, and the DSIDC policy / circular governing transfer of industrial plots (including applicable transfer charges). DSIDC transfers are often delayed due to dues, pending conveyance deed issues, or missing documents. The RTI response gives you the specific bottleneck in writing, enabling a targeted follow-up or a complaint to the Department of Industries.

The roads, drainage, and water supply in my DSIDC industrial estate are in poor condition. How does an RTI force action?

File an RTI to DSIDC asking whether any complaints about the specific infrastructure issue (broken road / blocked drain / no water supply) in your estate and sector have been received, the date of receipt and action taken on each such complaint, the budget allocated and spent on maintenance of infrastructure in your industrial estate in the last two financial years, and the name of the officer responsible for maintenance of that estate. DSIDC is responsible for developing and maintaining infrastructure in its industrial estates under its mandate. A documented RTI response that records DSIDC's inaction — or non-receipt of complaints — can be used to escalate to the Department of Industries, the GNCTD Chief Minister's Office, or the Delhi High Court via a Public Interest Litigation. Often, the filing of an RTI alone prompts internal action.

DSIDC did not respond to my RTI within 30 days. What do I do — and does the second appeal go to CIC or DIC?

If DSIDC does not respond within 30 days, file a First Appeal under Section 19(1) of the RTI Act with the First Appellate Authority (FAA) at DSIDC within 30 days of the date of the decision or the expiry of the 30-day response period, whichever is applicable. If the FAA's response is also absent or unsatisfactory, file a Second Appeal with the Delhi Information Commission (DIC) under Section 19(3) of the RTI Act within 90 days. DSIDC is a Delhi State body under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD); its second appeals go to the DIC (established under Section 15 of the RTI Act), not the Central Information Commission (CIC). The CIC handles only central public authorities. Confusing the two is a common mistake — if you file with the CIC for a DSIDC matter, it will be rejected as not maintainable.

All information on this page is based on the Right to Information Act, 2005 (Act No. 22 of 2005) and the RTI (Regulation of Fee and Cost) Rules, 2005. First Appeal: Section 19(1). Second Appeal to CIC/SIC: Section 19(3).

The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIDC) is a public sector undertaking of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD), operating under the Department of Industries. Established to develop and manage industrial estates across Delhi, DSIDC allots industrial plots, sheds, flatted factory units, and booths to small and medium enterprises in estates such as Bawana, Narela, Patparganj, Okhla, Lawrence Road, Wazirpur, Jhilmil, and Badli, among others. DSIDC also extends financial assistance through loans to industrial units and is responsible for maintaining infrastructure in its estates.

DSIDC is a public authority under Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, 2005, and is obligated to provide information to citizens within 30 days of receiving an RTI application. Common grievances — allotment letters issued decades ago with no conveyance deed, plot transfers stalled without explanation, DSIDC loans never processed, and industrial estate roads that have not been repaired for years — can all be addressed through a well-drafted RTI.

Important: DSIDC is a Delhi State body. Its second appeals go to the Delhi Information Commission (DIC), not the Central Information Commission (CIC).

DSIDC vs. DDA vs. MCD for Industrial Properties in Delhi

A critical first step is identifying which authority allotted or governs your industrial property. Filing an RTI with the wrong authority causes delays.

Authority	Type	Governs	File RTI at	Second Appeal
DSIDC	Delhi State (GNCTD)	Industrial plots, sheds, flatted factory units in DSIDC estates (Bawana, Narela, Patparganj, Okhla phases, Wazirpur, Jhilmil, Badli, etc.)	rti.delhi.gov.in	Delhi Information Commission (DIC)
DDA	Central Government	Industrial plots allotted under DDA's own land disposal — Flatted Factory Complex (Okhla), some DDA industrial sectors	rtionline.gov.in	Central Information Commission (CIC)
MCD	Delhi State (GNCTD)	Trade licences, building plan approvals, property tax for industrial units — not plot allotment	rti.delhi.gov.in	Delhi Information Commission (DIC)

How to check: The allotment letter or lease deed will carry the letterhead of the allotting authority. If the document is on DSIDC stationery, the matter goes to DSIDC (and DIC on second appeal). If it is a DDA allotment letter, the matter goes to DDA (and CIC on second appeal).

DSIDC Industrial Estates in Delhi

DSIDC has developed and manages industrial estates across Delhi. Key estates include:

Bawana Industrial Area — Phase I, II, III (North-West Delhi; one of the largest industrial estates developed after the Supreme Court-ordered relocation of polluting industries from non-conforming areas)
Narela Industrial Area (North Delhi)
Patparganj Industrial Area (East Delhi)
Okhla Industrial Area — select phases allotted by DSIDC (South Delhi)
Lawrence Road Industrial Area (North-West Delhi)

Jhilmil Industrial Area (East Delhi)

If your estate is not in this list, verify through your allotment letter whether it was allotted by DSIDC or DDA.

Appeals

First Appeal — Section 19(1), RTI Act

If DSIDC does not respond within 30 days, or the response is incomplete or unsatisfactory, file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority (FAA) at DSIDC. The FAA is typically a senior officer designated within DSIDC for this purpose.

The First Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the date of the decision or the expiry of the 30-day response period, whichever is applicable.

Second Appeal — Section 19(3), RTI Act — Delhi Information Commission (DIC)

If the FAA's response is also unsatisfactory or not received, file a Second Appeal with the Delhi Information Commission (DIC) under Section 19(3) of the RTI Act within 90 days of the date of the FAA's decision or the expiry of the FAA's response period.

DSIDC is a Delhi State body constituted under GNCTD. Its second appeals go to the DIC (established under Section 15 of the RTI Act), not the Central Information Commission. Submitting a second appeal to the CIC for a DSIDC matter will result in rejection as not maintainable.

The DIC can direct DSIDC to provide the information, impose a penalty of ₹250 per day (up to ₹25,000) on the defaulting PIO under Section 20 of the RTI Act, and recommend disciplinary action.
