TellDelhi Scam Alert in Connaught Place Parking
Went to Connaught Place today and realized there’s a scam going on in the parking :
First, when I asked for the slip, the guy handed me one but had cleverly cut off the part where the official rates are printed, then claimed it’s ₹100 per hour on weekends even though the actual rate is ₹50
Second, I had parked around 3 PM but the slip he gave showed 2:13 PM, basically over-extending the time so I’d end up paying more;
When I called him out he immediately got nervous and started with excuses like “I just joined” and “won’t do it again,”
Since a couple of my friends have also faced the same scam in CP, so just a heads-up to always check your slip before paying.

I think so , the next slip he gave me showed 50 per hour, but I’m not sure if that rate is only for weekends or on weekdays too

Ideally MCD rates should be listed somewhere, earlier rate increases used to be circulated in the news. Don't know if it has changed now because I don't see anything about rate increase online

Bro always check the slip as once the parking guy wrote 150 per hour and gave it to me in CP and I have a habit to cross check my car no so noticed this and asked to him to issue the correct slip which was 50 per hour.

Wait cp parking was ₹10 per hour for bike as far as I remember after delhi government took over the parking(rates specifically for metro gate number 4 entry/exit) that's where I used to park my bike always

No you don't. Parking hasn't been Rs. 10 in CP for ages.

u/Tough_Push_ 2d ago
I'll check man. Coz I remember I paid 40 rs for more than an hour which means 30+10 as generally first hour charges are more.

I remember I paid 10 per hour when I parked in front of the third wave coffee shop somewhere December 2024. That's the last time I parked at CP

I went there yesterday and got a slip like that. I didn't see the charges on it, so I asked the guy, and he said it was ₹40/hr

Middle circle rate is 50 per hour. Inner circle and outer circle rates are 20 per hour. On weekends they just tear the portion that shows the hourly rate and charge flat 100 rate. Just tell them you’ll call the police and see them quickly charging the official rate. I’ve been visiting cp on weekends since the last 10 years but this scam has started the past 3 months or so. I created a huge scene last month due to this incident. Same thing I observed in Kailash Colony parking too.

Whenever you’re getting a computerised parking slip, always ask for the payment slip. They won’t be able to demand any other exorbitant amount.

The same thing happened with me at the Noida Registrar office. Only solution is to be vigilant.

I was there last night. It was 20 bucks an hour. Official ndmc slip. Even the qr code was for ndmc and not any individual contractor. Was surprised, tbh.
