Properties in E and F category colonies will receive a 50% concession, while G and H category colonies will get up to 70% relief. Residential units of 50 square metres or less on plots larger than 200 square metres will receive an additional 50% concession, while religious institutions and charitable organisations registered under Section 12AB will also be eligible for an additional 50% concession. Institutions adopting Zero Liquid Discharge systems will receive up to 50% concession in sewer IFC, subject to operational compliance with CPCB and DPCC standards.
