So far the zone-wise status of response to the scheme is as follows:
NMC has appealed citizens to avail the benefit of this ‘now or never’ scheme. Once the scheme is over there will be no hearing on the arrears afterwards. Also, stern action will be taken against those who have not availed the benefit of the scheme.
It must be mentioned that taking into consideration the huge arrears and the troubles of the Water Bill arrear holders, Nagpur Municipal Corporation has brought up a citizen convenience scheme where arrear-holders can get rid of the arrears by paying 50% of the actual arrear amount. The scheme will be valid upto 30th June 2016.
The scheme is applicable to consumers belonging to Residential and Slum categories and who are having arrear amount more than Rs.2000. Under this scheme, of the total arrears amount mentioned on the consumer bills, 50% amount will have to be paid (excluding Delay Payment Charges). The revised amount will have to be completely paid off during the scheme period.
