Soon, industries will pay water bill online

NASHIK: The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has decided to make the payment of water bills for the industries online. As part of the first phase of the project, the new system will be launched from the industrial estates of MIDC in Sinnar within two months. The move is likely to benefit around 1,391 industries in Sinnar.

Speaking to TOI, an MIDC official said, "We have decided to introduce the online payment system for water bills for the industries. In the first phase, we have decided to begin with Sinnar MIDC area. The online payment system will be operational within a month. We will resume the system for Satpur and Ambad industrial estates of MIDC thereafter. We have also made allocation of resources like manpower, hardware and IT network."

"We will be introducing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which would integrate internal and external management information across an entire organization, embrace finance, accounting, etc. We have already started working in this direction. The ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application. The purpose of ERP is to facilitate the flow of information of all businesses or administrative functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to stakeholders outside," the official said.

During a meeting of Zilla Udyog Mitra (ZUM), the Nashik District Industries and Exporters' Association (NDIEA) and Ambad Industries & Manufacturers' Association (AIMA) had urged MIDC to provide online payment system for the industries.

Ramesh Pawar, president of NDIEA, said, "The MIDC must commence online facility for the industries for paying water bills immediately. There are around 3,000 water connections in Satpur and Ambad. The new system will help entrepreneurs to pay bills online instead of going to the office for the purpose."

In Sinnar, there are two MIDC areas - Malegaon and Musalgaon. Of the total 1,391 industral units, Malegaon MIDC areas include 856 industries, while Musalgaon consists of 535 industries.

NEW DELHI: If you recently paid your water bills online, your money may have landed in the pockets of cyber crooks. The Delhi Jal Board has lodged a complaint against a fake department website, very similar to the real one, that may have been used to dupe consumers. A source said that the fake website was blocked after DJB's chief engineer approached the crime branch. The team of cyber cell experts is investigating the case and an FIR under the information technology (66A) Act has been registered, a senior police officer said. The fake website, www.delhijalboard .in, looks remarkably like the original website. The crooks have also managed to forge the home ministry and Delhi government logos, police sources said.
