I-T to replace NCPA as Nariman Pt's first building

The NCPA, known to be the first building at Nariman Point, may soon lose its recognition. Income Tax department plans a 12-storey building facing the Arabian Sea.

For a common man, Income Tax department is always excruciating, but its new architecture-friendly building, a flotilla of sails, would relieve things a bit.

The I-T department will construct the Rs 51 crore office-cum-residential building next to the NCPA on a space admeasuring 3333 sq yards.

SG Srivastav, IRS, Income Tax department, said, "The design for this building will be prepared by England-based architects Chapman Taylor and Company who have visited the site."
