The Maharashtra government is under the scanner for lack of transparency in facilitating planned hill city of Lavasa in state's Pune district. The CAG report has slammed the state "for failing to adhere to regulations, amending existing laws for the project, disturbing the already ecologically fragile environment and violating green norms''.

"The project seems to be driven by private interest and not by public interest," the report said.

The report noted that despite the fact that Lavasa Corporation Ltd (LCL) is a commercial venture designed to cater to the elite, the government granted exemptions and concessions from payment of stamp duty and registration fees. The concession availed were Rs 4.31 crore towards stamp duty and Rs 5.39 lakh for the registration fees.

According to LCL, there has been no special exemption given to the project: "As per Maharashtra Government's Tourism Policy 2006, stamp duty exemption is given to any tourism project. Therefore, like many other tourism projects in Maharashtra, Lavasa has also got stamp duty exemption. The exemption to Lavasa was approximately Rs 5 crore." Special regulations were framed by the government without any expert study or survey on where hill stations, said the CAG report.
