Feature Details

Feature	Description
Dues validation on Property Transfer	If the connection holder’s W&S dues are pending, and holder information gets updated during property transfer, the ULB staff will have a lot of difficulties getting a hold of the previous holder (or property owner in this case) to recover the due amount. With this feature, we validate for W&S dues while property transfer on property tax module and do not allow a property to be transferred if W&S dues are not cleared
Combined PDFs for Water and Sewerage Services	A municipal employee goes to distributes water and sewerage bills door-to-door. However, since the bills get generated and printed at different times, this person has to have multiple trips for bill distribution. In addition, printing bills also uses a lot of stationery for a ULB. To save multiple trips for ULB Employees, we provide a combined PDF for W&S Bills with this enhancement
Arrears breakup and due date on the bill	It is important for the citizen to know when was the penalty for bills applied from. With this feature, we are adding bill due date and amount breakup on the bill.
