No extra charges if the said fee is deposited within three months from the date of notification. After the fee is deposited no extra charges i.e. road cutting, connection fee, and security will be chargeable. Upon the satisfaction of ULBs’ technical officials regarding quality of pipe , size of connection and alignment of water supply line ( not below sewer line ) will be regularized . No penalty would be charged if the fee is deposited within 3 months after the date of issue of notification. 100 percent penalty if the fee does not deposit within a given time period.
