Of course, leaving a posh corporate HT Building at Kasturba Gandhi Marg wasn't an easy decision for the National Law Commission. However, the rent of Rs 90 lakh a month with the provision for a 24% increase every three years was considered too much in official circles. So the NLC was persuaded to shift to Lok Nayak Bhawan where the rent is Rs one lakh a month. Since it was painful to shift to a drab government office building which didn't have the ambiance of HT corporate building, official files on shifting were delayed for six months under the excuse of processing. However, the files were finally done and the NLC moved its office.
With the NLC setting an example in 'self-sacrifice', officials expect the Competition Commission of India (CCI), which, too, is housed in HT Building and is paying an equally humongous amount as rent, to shift to a government office complex.
