Transferring a DJB (Delhi Jal Board) water connection name is a critical step when buying property in Delhi. It ensures that the water bill is in the owner’s name, which is often required for other government applications and property records.

Why Transfer Your DJB Meter?

• Official Records: Keeps utility records updated as per current property ownership.
• Proof of Residence: An updated water bill is a strong proof of address.
• Legal Clarity: Avoids future liability issues during property sale or rental.

Essential Documents Required

• Identity Proof: PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, or Voter ID.
• Property Proof: Registered Sale Deed, Conveyance Deed, or Registry.
• No Dues Certificate (NDC): Crucial document proving all previous water bills are paid.
• Current Bill: Latest paid water bill (Zero Balance).
• Affidavit/NOC: Required in cases of transfer by family inheritance or specific property changes.

Step-by-Step Application Process

1. Step 1: Clear all outstanding dues and obtain the No Dues Certificate (NDC) from the DJB portal.
2. Step 2: Prepare the Application Form along with certified property ownership proof.
3. Step 3: Draft the required Affidavit or Indemnity Bond as per DJB norms.
4. Step 4: Submit the application dossier at your Zonal Revenue Office (ZRO).
5. Step 5: Verification of documents and property details by DJB officials.
6. Step 6: Pay the processing fees and wait for the name update notification.

Common Challenges

Many applications are rejected due to incorrect documentation of property history, missing affidavits, or discrepancies in the ‘No Dues Certificate’.
