Delhi Jal Board to Attach Properties Over Rs 25 Lakh Bills
The Delhi Jal Board is telling business owners that if they owe more than 25 lakh rupees for water, they might lose their property.
They have until August 15 to pay.
If they still owe, the board can attach the property.
The government also offers a special discount on late fees if the bill is paid by January 31, 2026.
They want to collect 5,000 crore rupees in unpaid bills and have already waived 11,000 crore rupees in late fees for many people.
Delhi Jal Board will attach commercial properties with water bills exceeding Rs 25 lakh.
1,025 commercial properties have been identified with outstanding dues over Rs 25 lakh.
Defaulters must pay by August 15, 2024, or face attachment of their property.
The LPSC waiver scheme offers 100% late fee waiver if dues are cleared by January 31, 2026, otherwise 70% waiver.
