Deepika Singh aka Sandhya from Diya aur Baati Hum has approached the CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes' Association) for non-payment of dues. She is involved in a dispute with her show's producers Shashi and Sumeet Mittal.

The makers reportedly sent a debit note of Rs 16 lakh to her, on account of her reporting late to the sets and various expenses incurred because of the delay. They also refused to pay her dues of Rs 1.14 crore.

Amit Behl, joint secretary of CINTAA and the chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Committee, told a leading daily that, "We have received a complaint from Deepika and have forwarded it to IFTPC (Indian Film and TV Producers Council). We are awaiting a date from the Joint Dispute Settlement Committee for a meeting between CINTAA, IFTPC, Deepika and Shashi-Sumeet."

It has been more than three months since Diya Aur Baati Hum went off air, yet, the show continues to make headlines owing to this ongoing payment issue.

A source told TOI that, "It's a standard procedure many TV show producers are adopting these days. When the show is about to end, instead of paying full dues, they issue a debit note and deduct money for coming late, and various expenses incurred because of the delay. It's surprising that reputed producers like Shashi-Sumeet and a hard-working actress like Deepika are at loggerhead. In such situations, even the broadcaster does not want to intervene."

The decision of CINTAA is awaited now.
