There is good news for citizens residing in buildings without Occupancy Certificates (OC) on 12.5 percent plots under the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) and CIDCO administered areas as they will get water bill as per the residential rates instead of commercial rates.
In addition, CIDCO has also decided to waive off penalty for delayed payment on water bills, under the Amnesty Scheme. The proposal has already been approved by the state government.
The Amnesty Scheme will be available for one year from March 1, 2021, to February 28, 2022.
At present, people residing in buildings without OC, have to pay water bills as per the commercial rates. The minimum residential rate is Rs 6 for 1000 liters for the first 20,000 liters of water while it is Rs 45 for 1000 liters.
In order to get the benefits of the Amnesty scheme, society/building need to pay the full Infrastructure Development Charges (IDC) and water bill excluding delay payment charges in a maximum of four installments to CIDCO, within a period of 8 months. After full payment of dues, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) will be provided by CIDCO to them for grant of OC by the concerned Authority.
