OUTSTANDING DUES OF NTPC
The billing for the financial year 2003-04 were
Rs.20382.29 crore with realisation of Rs.21394.82
crore i.e. 105%. Thus the total outstanding dues
of Rs. 25233.44 crores as on 31.03.2003 were
reduced to Rs.3583.39 crores at the end of
financial year 2003-04.
Consequent upon the implementation of Scheme
for One-Time Settlement of SEBs dues the states
were required to take following actions:
(i) Give acceptance to the Scheme by signing
the Tripartite Agreement between States,
Reserve Bank of India and Government of
India.
(ii) Issue bonds against dues as on 30.9.2001
including 40% of surcharge.
(iii) Open/enhance the LC equal to 105% of
average monthly billing of the past 12 months
and maintain in future for payment of current
monthly bills of the CPSUs.
(iv) Make full payment of current monthly bills
from 1.10.2001 onwards.
NTPC has received bonds of Rs.15788.396 crore
from 20 States who have arrears payable to
NTPC as on 30.9.2001. Although Govt. of
Jharkhand has signed the TPA but they are yet
to issue the bonds. With issuance of above
bonds, the major portion of outstanding dues as
on 30.9.2001 have been settled with various
States. However, in case of Madhya Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Jharkhand, the final
division of liability of undivided MPEB and
BSEB for the period before the bifurcation
are coming in the way of settling of dues.
Therefore, the following outstanding dues of
respective SEBs as on 30.9.2001 are yet to be
securitised:
SEB Bond Amount
(Rs.Crore)
Jharkhand 1200.10
Bihar 222.42
Chhattisgarh 220.18
Total 1642.70
As the Union Territory Govts were not authorised
to issue the bonds, an alternative payment
mechanism was formulated under the One Time
Settlement Scheme to convert the outstanding
dues of union territories in the form of long term
advances. The Bipartite Agreement in this
regard was sent to all the union territories
including the Govt. of NCT, Delhi in May,2003.
The Bipartite Agreement has been signed
by D&D, D&N and Govt. of NCT, Delhi. Other
Union Territories are being persuaded to sign
the Bipartite Agreement.
Consequent to the signing of BPA, the
outstanding dues of Rs.1060.29 crores payable
by DVB to NTPC, as on 30.9.2001 have been
securitised on 17.2.2004 and converted into long
term advances. However, the outstanding
dues of DESU period amounting to
Rs.1310.83 crores are yet to be securitised.
The outstanding dues payable by DVC as on
30.09.2001 amounting to Rs.343.79 Crores have
been liquidated during the financial year by cash
payment.
The opening and maintaining of LC has
significantly improved the realisation of current
monthly bills w.e.f. July, 2002. The realisation
of monthly bills from July, 2002 to March, 2003
was 98.5% which has further improved from April,
2003 onward. The realisation of monthly bills
from April, 2003 to March, 2004 was 100%.
