Gradual increase as may be effective in case of rates of lift irrigation shall be applicable in this case also. Similarly, in case water is drawn for other purposes with prior permission from the Government, the rates prescribed for such purposes shall be applicable.\n(b) In cases where permission is granted for release of water to the river, the charges shall be assessed/recovered from the users at the rates prescribed for respective purpose for which water is drawn.\nConditions for water supplied for agricultural purpose :\n(1) These rates will be gradually escalated at the rate of 7.5% per irrigation year.\n(2) Local Fund Cess as determined from time to time under the Gujarat Panchayats Act, 1993 shall be leviable.
