Delhi Hotels Act repealed, 25% room control power removed
This Bill repeals the Delhi Hotels (Control of Accommodation) Act, 1949, removing the government's power to force hotels to reserve a portion of their rooms for officials. This is done because the original need for such control has declined and the provisions are no longer being used.
The Bill affects hotels in the Union Territory of Delhi that were previously subject to accommodation control orders, as well as the Director of Estates (an office within the Ministry of Urban Development) who held the power to issue such orders.
- Repeal of the Delhi Hotels (Control of Accommodation) Act, 1949 (Act 24 of 1949).
- Removal of the power of the Director of Estates to declare up to 25% of a hotel's accommodation as 'controlled accommodation'.
- Removal of the requirement for hotel managers to accept government allottees as residents in controlled accommodation.
