hi
i purchased a dda residential land in rohini
sector-23 ,i completed construction on dec2009 and also taking permanent electricity meter in dec2009 and then take sewer connection permission on feb2010 subject to condition my water bill will be charged three times of normal charges till i will take d form.
i visit my house in dec 2010 and received a bill of rupees 9000 appx for the duration feb to aug 2010.but my meter reading is not done because my house is vacant ,since construction complete.currently my water meter show nil appx consumption of water.
when i talk to neighbours they said dda charge 200 p.m without meter.and this amount bill is serve to all of them who have taken sewer connection from dda.but from july dda made mandatory water meter
for all.they all have submit the bill and now their bill come on meter reading base.
now my promblem is zero consumption of water then why should i pay.
if dda want to charge three times of normal charge then what is normal charges 200 p.m or per unit shown on back of bill.
200 p.m is not shown on any paper.
one thing i also want to share is that when i visit dda then one official is said your bill should be 350 by 50 rs rent appx
but you have to pay rs 5000 as some other mode( i know you can understand)
please give me your valuable advice.

You can ask for the actual bill amount by using RTI act to the dda and as per the said rate deposit the amount and for the excess bill lodge a complaint to the concerned department of the dda.
