Under the draft proposal, households in A to D colonies with residential properties of up to 50 square metres will pay Rs 75 a month. The corresponding charge for E to H colonies will be Rs 40. For a residential property measuring 100 square metres, the proposed monthly charge is Rs 150 in A to D colonies and Rs 75 in E to H colonies.
