However, consumption beyond 20 KL per month would be billed as per prevailing tariff for full water consumption under the slab system.
As per the Resolution, NDMC will place the demand upon Delhi Jal Board for supplying the required quantity of water without charge to implement this scheme. Therefore, implementation of this resolution is subject to acceptance by Delhi Jal Board.
