Ever since the meters were replaced by the DJB, the bills have shot up from less than Rs 500/- to thousands and to Rs 10-15, 000/-, hitherto unconceivable.

The current bill dt 20-Nov-2018 for 22 day period is high at Rs 1.50 lakh, payable by 07 Dec. This is so despite there being no water supply during the week 16th-22nd Oct when we had to resort to limited water supply through DJB .
The bill is inclusive of Rs 1189.59 as arrear amount. Incidentally, previous bill dt 20th Sept to had a consolidated arrear amount of Rs 2730/- which was paid, registering a complaint; this amount is yet to see the reversal of the amount.
It seems the meter has jumped due to which high consumption of 2097 units has got registered. Request have the matter resolved early.

I may also mention that we are only a septuagenarian couple residing at the premises; over the week ends we move to our son's place in Gurugram; we are not in a position to pay the bill and await adjustments subsequently as per the DJB practice.
