"DJB has powers to attach and seal properties of water bill defaulters.
Till now, we have identified 1025 commercial properties where water bill is due over the years of Rs 25 lakh or more.
Last year, the Delhi government introduced the late payment surcharge (LPSC) waiver scheme for domestic consumers, which was later extended to the commercial category also.
The government aims to recover Rs 5,000 crore of revenue in pending dues of DJB from both domestic and commercial categories, waiving late payment surcharge amounts to the tune of Rs 11,000 crore.
The LPSC waiver scheme is active till August 15 this year, whether it will be extended further, is yet to be decided, the water minister said.
