New Delhi Municipal Council and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited have more than Rs 1.1 crore dues on 10 leaders of which nine have ceased to be the members of Lok Sabha hence no recovery is being made from their salaries.

The highest pending amount is on the late A B A Ghani Khan Chaudhary of Congress who had Rs 40.27 lakhs as dues of NDMC and 39.06 lakhs of MTNL against him but recovery was stopped after he passed away.
