Mandatory Water Bill for Property Registration: A Game Changer for Delhi's Water Infrastructure

In a landmark move, the Delhi government is exploring the incorporation of water bills as a compulsory document for property registration, a decision officials revealed on Tuesday.

Guided by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), this initiative seeks to widen the ambit of the water and sewer network, while tackling revenue losses from unregistered and illegal connections.

Officials believe this step parallels the introduction of electricity bills in property documentation, promising improved network utilization, reduced waste leakage, and enhanced transparency in real estate transactions.
