In order to overcome the financial shortfall, the company has decided to collect Rs. 50 to Rs. 400 per month from the citizens in the form of bills. The proposal is currently awaiting approval from the Punjab government.

These are the user charges that the company will collect from the public for providing sanitation services. The exact amount to be charged and the mode of the collection will be determined by the government.
