Goa Simplifies House Number Bifurcation Process
Imagine two families living in one house.
The Goa government made it easier for them to get separate water and electricity.
Now, they can ask for two house numbers for one building.
This means they can have their own utility services and pay taxes separately.
The government hopes this will stop arguments between families and make life easier.
The new rules start on Monday and apply to both panchayats and municipal areas.
The application will be processed in 15 days.
