 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

Executive Summary

The Water Rates play an important role in regulating the water use and in ensuring efficiency of
the irrigation system and its management. The Pricing of water has to be such as to earn at least the
prescribed return on capital after meeting other recurring costs of maintenance.

2. The National Water Policy Statement of 1987 specifically states, The Water Rates should be
such as to convey the scarcity value of the resource to the users and to foster the motivation for economy
in water use. They should be adequate to cover the Maintenance and Operation Charges and a part of
the fixed costs of irrigation works. Efforts should be made to reach this ideal over a period of time while
ensuring assured and timely supplies of irrigation water. The Water Rates for Surface Water and Ground
Water should be rationalized with due regard to the interest of small and marginal farmers.

3. The National Water Policy Statement of 2002 also advocates for the water charges for various
uses and should be fixed in such a way that they cover at least the Maintenance and Operation charges
of providing the service initially and a part of the Capital Costs subsequently.

4. The National Water Policy Statement of 2012 regarding Water Pricing advocates the following:

i. Pricing of water should ensure its efficient use and reward conservation. Equitable access to
water for all and its fair pricing, for drinking and other uses such as sanitation, agricultural and
industrial, should be arrived at through independent statutory Water Regulatory Authority, set
up by each state, after wide ranging consultation with all stakeholders.
ii. In order to meet equity, efficiency and economic principles, the water charges should
preferably/as a rule be determined on volumetric basis. Such charges should be reviewed
periodically.
iii. Recycle and reuse of water, after treatment to specified standards, should also be incentivized
through a properly planned tariff system.
iv. The principle of differential pricing may be retained for the pre-emptive uses of water for
drinking and sanitation; and high priority allocation for ensuring food security and supporting
livelihood for the poor. Available water, after meeting the above needs, should increasingly be
subjected to allocation and pricing on economic principles so that water is not wasted in
unnecessary uses and could be utilized more gainfully.
v. Water Users Associations (WUAs) should be given statutory powers to collect and retain a
portion of water charges, manage the volumetric quantum of water allocated to them and
maintain the distribution system in their jurisdiction. WUAs should be given the freedom to fix
the rates subject to floor rates determined by WRAs.
vi. The over-drawal of groundwater should be minimized by regulating the use of electricity for its
extraction. Separate electric feeders for pumping ground water for agricultural use should be
considered.
5. Generally the water charges imposed by governments comprises of one or more of the
following elements:

i
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

(i) Water rates depending in the kind of crop

(ii) the area irrigated,
(iii) number of irrigations of each crop
(iv) the total volume of water used by the farmer
6. Various Committees / Commissions have been recommending from time to time various
principles for fixing irrigation rates. Some of such recommendations are elaborated below

(i) Second Irrigation Commission (1972)

The Commission had emphasized the role and the importance of levying water charges in return
for the water supplied to the users and its adequacy in meeting O&M cost for ensuring its efficient use.
The Commission had stressed for levying water charges on crop basis considering (i) the adequacy and
dependability of water supply, (ii) the need for common policy among the neighbouring States, (iii) the
water requirement of the crops and (iv) the revision of Water Rates in every five years.

(ii) Dr. Vaidyanathan Committee (1991)

Dr.Vaidyanathan Committee (1991) recommended for an allocation of 10% of plan provision for
major and medium Project for renovating the existing systems and for earmarking the recovery of
accumulated arrears towards the cost of deferred maintenance/ special repairs in the projects
concerned. It also recommended for enhancement of water rates to cover O&M cost and interest on
capital cost with depreciation.

(iii) Eight and Ninth Finance Commissions

The Eighth Finance Commission had suggested a norm for O&M expenses per hectare of utilized
potential for expenditure on regular establishment supporting the project staff, provision of
maintenance of head work, distribution system and drainage work. The Ninth Finance Commission had
suggested that the Receipts should cover at least the cost of maintenance. The Tenth Finance
Commission had recommended that the irrigation receipts should cover not only O&M costs but also
give a return of 1% per annum on the capital.

(iv) Twelfth Finance Commissions

th
The 12 Finance Commission recommended that an O&M cost norm of Rs. 600 per hectare for
utilised potential and Rs. 300 per hectare for unutilised potential may be considered based on normative
expenditure requirements for maintenance of irrigation works of major and medium irrigation projects.
This norm for minor irrigation works should be half of those for major and medium irrigation projects.
For hill states 30% higher rate of O&M expenditure has been suggested on the base year estimates so
worked out and 5% annual rate of growth has been suggested to generate projected levels in the
forecast period.
(v) Thirteenth Finance Commissions

i. The current level of recovery from irrigation projects is at 23 per cent of the non-plan
revenue expenditure on irrigation, which is very low and needs to be improved in order to
ensure viability of irrigation projects and recommended to the enhanced receipts at 25 per

ii
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

cent of non-plan revenue expenditure on irrigation in 2010-11 to 35 per cent in 2011-12, 45

per cent in 2012-13, 60 per cent in 2013-14 and 75 per cent in 2014-15.
ii. Given the need for adequate provision for maintenance of irrigation schemes, the
Commission has adopted the norm of Rs. 1175 per hectare for the utilised potential and Rs.
588 per hectare for the unutilised potential for major and medium irrigation schemes
respectively. After adjustment for inflation, with an annual growth of 5 per cent thereafter,
these would reach the level of Rs. 1500 per hectare for utilised and Rs. 750 per hectare for
unutilised potential in the terminal year.
iii. For minor irrigation works, the Commission has provided the norm of Rs. 588 per hectare in
the base year for only the utilised potential. However, the Commission has allowed a 30 per
cent step up on these norms for the special category states.
(vi) FourteenthFinance Commissions
th
The 14 Finance Commission inter-alia recommended that (i) All States, irrespective of whether
Water Regulatory Authorities (WRAs) are in place or not, consider full volumetric measurement of the
use of irrigation water. (ii) States which have not set up WRAs, consider setting up a statutory WRA so
that the pricing of water for domestic, irrigation and other uses can be determined independently and in
a judicious manner. Further, WRAs already established be made fully functional.
7. The publication presents the State-wise data on existing water rates, governing principles for
fixation of water rates by the States, System of assessment collection of revenue and financial aspects of
major & medium irrigation projects covering Capital Expenditure, Working Expenditure and Gross
Receipts.

In Chapter1, State-wise the over-all range of water rates in respect of flow vis--vis lift irrigation
and the dates when the rates were last revised have been presented in Table 1(i). State-wise the over-all
water rates in respect of flow and lift irrigation for selected crops have also been presented in Table 1(ii)
and Table 1(iii) respectively.

Chapter - I

Introduction

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 The Water Rate is levied for supply of water from a public or a private system with a view
to ensure equitable water distribution, efficiency of the irrigation system and its management.
It has been attracting attention of Planners, Policy makers and Researchers in view of its
important role in regulating the water use within the reach and resources of the users. The
declining per capita availability of water for diverse uses has generated serious concern all over.
The Governments concern for a rational and pragmatic approach for levying Water Rates, in
return for the water supplied to the users, made possible by development and construction of
Water Resources Projects involving huge public investment. Earlier, the Second Irrigation
Commission (1972) had also emphasized the role, importance and necessity of levying water
charges in return for water supplied to the users and its adequacy in meeting the expenditure
towards Operation & Maintenance for ensuring equitable distribution and its efficient use. The
Water Rate is reflected in the Government of Indias National Water Policy Statement of 1987
which specifically states, The Water Rates should be such as to convey the scarcity value of the
resource to the users and to foster the motivation for economy in water use. They should be
adequate to cover the Maintenance and Operation Charges and a part of the fixed costs of
irrigation works. Efforts should be made to reach this ideal over a period of time while ensuring
assured and timely supplies of irrigation water. The Water Rates for Surface Water and Ground
Water should be rationalized with due regard to the interest of small and marginal farmers.
The present publication namely Pricing of Water in Public System in India is an attempt to
bring out the present and latest status of water rates of different States.
1.1.2 The National Water Policy Statement of 2002 also advocates for the water charges for
various uses and should be fixed in such a way that they cover at least the Maintenance and
Operation charges of providing the service initially and a part of the Capital Costs subsequently.

1.1.3 Likewise the National Water Policy Statement of 2012 regarding Water Pricing advocates
the following:

i. Pricing of water should ensure its efficient use and reward conservation. Equitable access
to water for all and its fair pricing, for drinking and other uses such as sanitation,
agricultural and industrial, should be arrived at through independent statutory Water
Regulatory Authority, set up by each state, after wide ranging consultation with all
stakeholders.

ii. In order to meet equity, efficiency and economic principles, the water charges should
preferably/as a rule be determined on volumetric basis. Such charges should be
reviewed periodically.

iii. Recycle and reuse of water, after treatment to specified standards, should also be
incentivized through a properly planned tariff system.

iv. The principle of differential pricing may be retained for the pre-emptive uses of water for
drinking and sanitation; and high priority allocation for ensuring food security and
supporting livelihood for the poor. Available water, after meeting the above needs,
should increasingly be subjected to allocation and pricing on economic principles so that
water is not wasted in unnecessary uses and could be utilized more gainfully.

v. Water Users Associations (WUAs) should be given statutory powers to collect and retain
a portion of water charges, manage the volumetric quantum of water allocated to them
and maintain the distribution system in their jurisdiction. WUAs should be given the
freedom to fix the rates subject to floor rates determined by WRAs.

vi. The over-drawal of groundwater should be minimized by regulating the use of electricity
for its extraction. Separate electric feeders for pumping ground water for agricultural use
should be considered.

1.2 Need for Appropriate Pricing of Water

Major and medium irrigation projects are developed to benefit a large number of
farmers of an irrigation command area. They are usually funded by the government.
Government funding is from the taxes and other revenues raised from the public. Irrigation
projects result in substantial financial benefits to the farmers of the command area. Hence it is
necessary that appropriate cost recovery policies are developed by the government to recover
the money spent on a project for investment in other projects which will benefit other members
of the society.

1.3 Basis of Levying Irrigation Charges

Generally the water charges imposed by governments comprises of one or more of the following
elements:

(i) Water rates depending in the kind of crop

(ii) the area irrigated,
(iii) number of irrigations of each crop
(iv) the total volume of water used by the farmer

Various Committees / Commissions have been recommending from time to time various
principles for fixing irrigation rates. Some of such recommendations are elaborated below:

1.4 Summary recommendations of Second Irrigation Commission (1972)

It had been viewed in the Second Irrigation Commission (1972) that the user should pay
for the basic agriculture input like water and the general tax payer should not be called upon to
bear the burden of agriculture. The Commission had also adequately emphasized the role and
the importance of levying water charges in return for the water supplied to the users and its
adequacy in meeting O&M cost for ensuring its efficient use. The Commission had also stressed
for levying water charges on crop basis considering (i) the adequacy and dependability of water
supply, (ii) the need for common policy among the neighbouring States, (iii) the water
requirement of the crops and (iv) the revision of Water Rates in every five years.

1.5 Recommendations of various Finance Commissions

1.5.1 The Eighth Finance Commission had suggested a norm for O&M expenses per hectare of
utilized potential for expenditure on regular establishment supporting the project staff,
provision of maintenance of head work, distribution system and drainage work. The Ninth
Finance Commission had suggested that the Receipts should cover at least the cost of
maintenance. The Tenth Finance Commission had recommended that the irrigation receipts
should cover not only O&M costs but also give a return of 1% per annum on the capital.

1.5.2 Main recommendation of 12th Finance Commission regarding maintenance of irrigation

works emphasised an O&M cost norm of Rs. 600 per hectare for utilised potential and Rs. 300
3
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

per hectare for unutilised potential may be considered based on normative expenditure
requirements for maintenance of irrigation works of major and medium irrigation projects. This
norm for minor irrigation works should be half of those for major and medium irrigation
projects. For hill states 30% higher rate of O&M expenditure has been suggested on the base
year estimates so worked out and 5% annual rate of growth has been suggested to generate
projected levels in the forecast period.

1.5.3 The Working Group on Water Resources for the XI plan also recommended as follows:
(i) Project Authorities should adopt an O&M cost norm of Rs. 600/- per hectare for utilised
potential and Rs. 300/- per hectare for unutilised potential as per the recommendation
of the 12th Finance Commission. The subsidy on water rates to the disadvantaged and
poorer section of the society should be well targeted and transparent.
(ii) Full O&M cost of irrigation system taking into account the inflation rate should be
recovered in a phased manner at the earliest in XI Plan starting from 2007. Motivation
policies like giving concessions and incentives can be considered by the State so as to
improve the water use efficiency and recovery of water charges.
(iii) State Governments may also initiate appropriate action to enhance the water rates to
cover 1% of capital cost in addition to achieving O&M cost fully. Whenever practically
possible, water should be saved to meet the rising demand for non-irrigation purposes
like drinking water, industry, thermal power generation, etc. Water rates for non-
agricultural use should also be carefully rationalised. For the storage requirement for
non-irrigation purpose the agency demanding water for non-irrigation use should
provide full funds enabling the use of such storage. For Lift Irrigation Schemes water
charges need to be evolved based on non-subsidised electricity charges.
(iv) The aspect of limiting the establishment costs in O&M needs to be studied along with the
possibility of redeployment of surplus staff presently charged to O&M expenses to some
other fields like local watershed development programme, etc.

1.5.4 The 13th Finance Commission recommended recovery of revenue from irrigation projects
and suggested to enhance operation and maintenance cost. Detailed recommendations of the
13th Finance Commission are as follows:
i. The current level of recovery from irrigation projects is at 23 per cent of the non-plan
revenue expenditure on irrigation, which is very low and needs to be improved in
order to ensure viability of irrigation projects and recommended to the enhanced
receipts at 25 per cent of non-plan revenue expenditure on irrigation in 2010-11 to 35
per cent in 2011-12, 45 per cent in 2012-13, 60 per cent in 2013-14 and 75 per cent in
2014-15.

ii. Given the need for adequate provision for maintenance of irrigation schemes, the
Commission has adopted the norm of Rs. 1175 per hectare for the utilised potential
and Rs. 588 per hectare for the unutilised potential for major and medium irrigation
schemes respectively. After adjustment for inflation, with an annual growth of 5 per
cent thereafter, these would reach the level of Rs. 1500 per hectare for utilised and
Rs. 750 per hectare for unutilised potential in the terminal year.
iii. For minor irrigation works, the Commission has provided the norm of Rs. 588 per
hectare in the base year for only the utilised potential. However, the Commission has
allowed a 30 per cent step up on these norms for the special category states.
1.5.5 The 14th Finance Commission recommended inter-alia the following:
i. All States, irrespective of whether Water Regulatory Authorities (WRAs) are in place or
not, consider full volumetric measurement of the use of irrigation water.
ii. States which have not set up WRAs, consider setting up a statutory WRA so that the
pricing of water for domestic, irrigation and other uses can be determined
independently and in a judicious manner. Further, WRAs already established be made
fully functional.
1.6 Recommendations of Dr. Vaidyanathan Committee (1991)

Dr Vaidyanathan Committee (1991) recommended for an allocation of 10% of plan

provision for major and medium Project for renovating the existing systems and for earmarking
the recovery of accumulated arrears towards the cost of deferred maintenance/ special repairs
in the projects concerned. It also recommended for enhancement of water rates to cover O&M
cost and interest on capital cost with depreciation.

1.7 Guidelines as suggested by National Commission for Integrated Water Resources

Development
1.7.1 In the context of Legal and Institutional Framework, the National Commission for
Integrated Water Resources Development (NCIWRD) in its report Integrated Water
Resource Development-A Plan for Action (1999) has inter-alia raised basic questions
regarding principles of pricing of water and rights and responsibilities of governments,
users, communities and individuals that arise during development. There is, thus, need for
adoption of a National Water Code in this context. Economy in the use of this increasingly
scarce resource has to be promoted and enforced. In sectorial planning, for big projects or
small, whether for resource development or management, the full participation of the people
and the NGOs need to be ensured from the earliest stages. To cover all these and other
related aspects, a comprehensive National Water Code, that is, not one single law but an
integrated set of water laws is needed.
1.7.2 NCIWRD has inter-alia also urged for the adoption Watershed Development. A watershed
should be seen as the lowest unit for development and management. In irrigated areas, this
would involve conjunctive use of canal and ground water as well as water from tanks.
Maintenance, renovation of tanks and ponds may be done Water User Associations
(WUAs). In order to improve efficiency of water use and system management as well as
5
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

measures for systemic pricing of water, there is need of establishment of Water Pricing
Authority.
1.7.3 In the context of economic and financial management of the water, NCIWRD in its above
report has further states that the availability of water is not equitably distributed over space
or time, while the requirements are universal and perennial; efforts have to be made to
include space and time utility to the natural supply of water, by investing in storage and
conveyance. Thus, water partakes the characteristics of an economic good with an
opportunity cost attached to it. Imbalance in the availability and requirement of water
compels the methods of regulating the use of water range from pricing of water to its
physical allocation for particular use. The question of cost recoveryis thus important in
this context. If the cost of development is not recouped, long term disadvantage in terms of
dwindling supplies and inadequate availability will become manifest.
1.7.4 Regarding pricing of water, NCIWRD in the above report stated that water used for
irrigation is an economic good and its logical pricing is a key to improving water allocation
and encouraging conservation. The canal water rates are still area based depending on crops
and seasons etc. There is wide variation in the rates even for the same crop. The charges are
also very low and have not been revised for many decades. There is no similarity in the
practice followed by various States. There are some States which provide free of cost. In
some others, irrigation charges are combined with land revenue. In some States, they vary
only by seasons while in a few others they depend on land classification, like wet and dry
lands. In some States there are different rates for water supplied by perennial and non-
perennial canals. Some States differentiate between classes of projects for charging water
rates.

It is thus noted that the main reasons inter-alia for low receipts of revenue are

Very low water tariff and reluctance of State Governments to review and increase
the rates periodically to keep pace with rising capital and O&M costs.
Present method of charging water on area crop basis instead of volumetric basis
resulting in substantial wastage. Lack of incentives to farmers for saving water
which can be utilized to serve larger areas.
High level of working expenses
Physical and operational inadequacies of created facilities resulting in low and
uncertain utility and consequent low collection of water charges
Inefficiency in revenue collection organizations and inadequacy of the collection
system giving rise to larger arrears.
1.7.5 The returns can be increased expanding the benefited area by saving water. The working
expenses can be reduced by modernizing the system, better water management,
organizational reforms and improved infrastructure. There is great scope of reducing O&M
costs by curtailing overstaffing by redeployment, providing better communication facilities
and establishing participatory management. Water rates are so low that they need to be
increased substantially, but one of the important ways to overcome resistance would be to
increase reliability and efficiency through these means. Increase in water tariff could be
resorted to only along with restructuring measures.

6
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

As for the rates themselves, there are three basic approaches to setting charges. Rates can be
related to the cost of providing irrigation or to the benefits to be derived from irrigation or to
some value judgment on the beneficiaries ability to pay the rates.

1.7.6 Various Committees on Commissions examined the issue from time to time and have given
their recommendations. The Irrigation Commission, 1972 recommended that the water rates
should be five percent to twelve percent of the total value of farm produce, the lower
percentage being applicable to fodder and food crops and the higher for cash crops.

Several Finance Commissions have been recommending rates linking them to annual O&M
costs and some percentage of capital cost. Dr. Vaidyanathan Committee recommended a
two part tariff, in the first phase, comprising a fixed charge of Rs. 50/- applicable to entire
command area as a membership charge and a variable charge per ha of irrigation to recover
annual O&M cost and one percent interest on capital cost. The objective is to move towards
full-cost recovery. The change was to be brought about in three phases, ultimately leading
to rates on volumetric basis with improvement of existing systems, creation of autonomous,
financially self-reliant entities at the system level with participatory management by users.

The Group of Officers appointed by the Government of India to examine Vaidyanathan

Committees report generally endorsed the recommendations, but did not favour the fixed
charge part as most the State Governments did not agree to such a two part tariff.

1.7.7 The logic followed for the recommendations about water rates made by various Committees
and Commissions is as follows:
The irrigation systems in the country should move systematically towards supplying
irrigation water volumetrically in the ultimate stage. This will not help conservation of
water but will also improve assessment and collection of the water dues.
Until physical structural changes and operational procedures are finalized and implemented,
the present method of area based tariff will have to be continued though (i) it is complicated
due to differentiation in rate structure resulting from varying agro-climatic conditions, (ii) it
is not related to supply cost or scarcity value of water; and (iii) it does not provide any
incentive to farmers for economical use of water.

With this background, especially those detailed ones made by Dr. Viadyanathan Committee,
the general principles recommended by NCIWRD are as:

There should be rationalization of basic principles of fixing the water tariffs in all the
States.
The irrigation Commission (1972) had recommended rate structure linked with value of
gross product of irrigated hectare irrespective of the working expenses. Dr.
Vaidyanathan Committee had tied up the rates with O&M cost and a part of the capital
cost without reference to value of the product.
The water rates should accordingly cover the entire annual O&M cost plus one percent
of the gross value of the produce /ha in respect of cereal crops and a higher percentage
in case of cash crops.

7
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

These rates should be levied as single part variable tariff for the present. However, the
scheme of charging a basic fixed rate alongwith a variable part is quite logical and
should be followed up with the State Governments.
Some States have supplementary levies like betterment charges, Mandi-charges etc. The
States may continue these additional charges.
The revised water pricing structure should be such that the rates are substantially lower
for those who accept group volumetric supply than for individual farmers. Also, the
Water User Associations (WUAs) should be allowed to collect a little over and above
the prescribed water rates to encourage them to improve the system under their charge.
Though area, crop and season based tariffs are in force in various States at present, they
require inter-se rationalization to reflect varying degrees of water consumption by
various crops and their economic values.
Realistic O&M costs/ha should be worked out by each State on pilot representative
systems by allotting adequate funds. These figures should be used for fixing of rates.
However, in working out the cost, the ceiling rates on establishment charges should be
invariably followed.
There should be two distinct components of irrigation water charges, one for O&M and
other related to the value of the product. The O&M component should be fully utilized
for the operation and maintenance of the respective portions of the system. The second
part should be used to modernize the system with supplementation, from budget
allocations. Each State will have to decide the natural proportion of the two components
based on its figures of O&M and the productivity of the crops. The financial procedure
should be modified to make this possible, so that the farmers are encouraged to pay the
enhanced rates.
The rate structure should differentiate between the seasons and also the crops in such a
way that production or benefits are optimized per unit of water or at least indicate the
intention. Thus the rates should be so rationalized that the water intensive crops are
charged proportionately more as compared to less water consuming crops.
On the basis of hydrological records, the existing surface irrigation projects should be
classified into those with performance reliability of (a) 75 percent or above and (b) less
than 75 percent. Considering a minimum reliability of 50 percent, the water rates for the
latter should be two thirds of the full rates fixed for the former.
The objective should be to achieve volumetric measurement ultimately, though
gradually, and this should be kept in mind at every stage.
The change should encourage user group formation and given adequate incentive to
group consumers, who can be supplied water on volumetric basis, over individual
consumers who have to be charged on crop area basis.
The pricing for water of lift irrigation scheme should be worked out on the basis of the
capital and O&M costs of these schemes. As this water will be easily measurable, the
tariff should be fixed on volumetric basis. The schemes can be categorized according to
lift ranges and rates be fixed for different categories. As the conveyance losses will be
very low in case of lift schemes, the gross irrigation requirement will be much less. The
capital costs would also be low. Even then, because of high operational costs, the
rates/ha may work out to be somewhat higher than those for gravity flow irrigation.
8
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

An important issue in fixing the basis for tariff for irrigation water is equity
consideration. It is argued that increasing water charges will adversely affect small and
marginal farmers. It is therefore, proposed that farmers with large holdings, say,
exceeding 10 ha may be levied a suitable surcharge. While the point is well taken, it
may also be argued that small and marginal farmers interest is taken care of by separate
measures under which subsidized inputs and credit at concessional rates are provided to
them. It is not feasible nor is there need to provide each and every input at subsidized
rates, specially irrigation water which is the scarcest of all inputs. Moreover, there are
only a very limited number of large farmers. Any surcharge will, therefore, not yield
significant amounts.

1.7.8 The above are broad guidelines and the details have to be worked out and operationalised
in each state, perhaps separately for regions in large states or even for projects. It is
believed that suggesting a uniform formula for the entire country would have no
practical value. However, a Water Pricing Authority may be constituted in each state by
statute, on the analogy of the energy pricing authorities and the general principles, with
suitable local modifications, incorporated as guidelines for the Pricing Authority. The
pricing structure suggested by the Authority, after hearing all the parties concerned,
should be binding on all concerned. Any subsidy proposed to be given by the State
Government for any particular use would be transparent and given as such as a subsidy
for such time as the government decides. The subsidy should not affect the funds for the
water sector.

1.8 Overall and Crop-specific Water Rates in respect of Flow and Lift Irrigation

As per data on water rates received from the concerned departments/authorities of

State/UT Governments, the overall water rates along-with crop-specific rates have been
summarized in various tables ( viz. Table 1(ii) and Table 1(iii)) described as below.

The following Table 1.(i) presents State-wise the overall range of water rates in respect
of flow vis-a-vis lift irrigation and the dates when the rates were last revised.

1.8 Scope of the publication

1.8.1 Since water is a State subject in India, the water rates are fixed by the State
Governments. As a result, the water rates vary among States. There is, therefore, no uniformity
for fixation of water rates in States and UTs. There is also considerable delay in revision of water
rates by the States. The presently existing system of water charges in the States/UTs are
delineated in this Publication. The latest available information of Capital Outlay, Working
Expenses, Gross Receipts, Revenue assessed and Revenue realized up to the year 2013-14 are
included in the Publication.

1.8.2 The Publication contains three chapters. The Chpater-1 Introduction presents inter-alia
introduction on water pricing, recommendations of various Commissions and Committees along
with overall range of water rates in respect of Flow vis-a-vis Lift Irrigation in States/UTs. Besides,
it provides State-wise crop-specific water rates for some of important crops (viz. paddy, wheat,
sugarcane, cotton, oilseeds and pulses) in respect of flow as well as lift irrigation. Chpater-2
Governing Principles for Fixation of Water Rates in States/UTs for Irrigation deals with the
considerations governing the fixation of water rates in States and UTs. It further provides for
each State and UT details on season-wise/source-wise water rates for each crop being grown
therein in respect of flow as well as lift irrigation. Chapter-3 System of Assessment and
Collection of Revenue describes mechanism of system of assessment and collection of water
revenue prevailing in different States and UTs. This apart, an analysis in respect of capital
expenditure, working expenditure along with gross receipts over the period 2000-01 to 2013-14
in major & medium projects have been provided. Finally, it gives detail on the gap in revenue
assessed and realized for the same period for all States and UTs.

Chapter II
Governing Principles for Fixation of Water Rates/Charges
in States/UTs for Irrigation

2.1 Principles for Fixation of Water Rates/Charges:

2.1.1 Since the irrigation requirements vary not only from crop to crop but also for the same
crop grown in different seasons, such as the first, second or third paddy crop, and the quantity
of water supplied, adequacy and dependability of supply should play a dominating role in fixing
water rates. For fixing water rates, the basic tenets of both the quantity and timeliness of supply
of water deserve to be duly considered. In addition other factors like crop water requirement,
extent of meeting O&M cost, prevailing water rates in neighbouring States/UTs etc. also play an
important role and have to be given due consideration in fixation of water rates.

2.1.2 The general level of water rates in a State should be such that, if taken as a whole, the
irrigation schemes do not impose any burden on the general revenues.

2.1.3 In canal commands where the State has to supply water by lifting it, water rates charged
have to be kept higher than the rates for gravity flow to take into account additional cost of
lifting.

2.1.4 In the absence of requisite uniformity, water rates vary from one canal system to another
canal system in the same State. Haryana has separate rates for water used from Western
Yamuna Canal and Bhakra Canal systems. Similarly the Government of Gujarat has fixed separate
set of water rates for North Gujarat and South Gujarat regions within the State. There is also
additional differentiation in the water charges on the basis of source/type of irrigation. For
instance, Government of Andhra Pradesh has fixed separate set of water rates for crops grown
in the State depending upon the category of irrigation source being Category-I or Category-II. In
Bihar, the water rates for Flow irrigation schemes are distinguishable on the basis of whether
the source is perennial or non-perennial.

2.1.5 The wide variety of systems and norms being followed at present in the fixation of the
water rates by the States has led to sharp variation in the water charges. The approach adopted
by the State Governments and Union Territories for fixing the water rates/ charges is not
uniform. By and large due consideration is being given by the States/UTs in fixation of water
rates/ charges to ensure that they provide revenue sufficient to cover cost of creation of
irrigation potential, hike in labour rates, establishment & other related recurrent costs of
Operation & Maintenance of the system and take into account the Crop Water requirement,
availability of water, support price of agriculture products, net benefit to the farmers from the
produce thereof and the water rates being charged by the neighbouring States besides the
paying capacity of the irrigators/ farmers.

2.2 Principles for Fixation of Water Rates/Charges in States/UTs:

Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar Island, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram,

Puducherry and Lakshadweep have not levied any water charges for using water for irrigation
14
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

purposes. Multiplicity of factors contribute to the process of fixation of water rates in States/UTs
and their common as well as diverging considerations forming the basis of the fixation of overall
water rates along with the system of water rates prevailing therein are as under :

2.2.1 Andhra Pradesh

2.2.1.1 The water charges are fixed to ensure that they provide revenue sufficient to cover:
i) The desirable level of maintenance works which is required so that the irrigation systems
may operate at the optimum level.
ii) The establishment cost and other recurrent costs (e.g. fuel, electricity and overheads),
required for operating and maintaining the systems in a reliable, economical, equitable
and predictable manner.
iii) Phased introduction of an affordable percentage addendum to water charges, to be
placed in a reserved fund for future contingencies and renewal of the infrastructure.

2.2.1.2 In this State, Rice, Sugarcane, Cotton, Pulses, Sunflower, Jowar and Castor are the
principal crops, which are grown by the farmers. The cropping seasons in the State are generally
from July to November (Kharif) and from November to February (Rabi).

2.2.1.3 The State Government has revised the water rates for irrigation purposes with effect
from 01.07.1996. Separate water rates are specified for crops under irrigation sources
categorized as Category-I and Category-II. For both the categories, distinct water rates are in
vogue for various crops, namely First or Single wet crop, second and Third wet crops, First
irrigated dry crop, Second and Third irrigated dry crops.

The crop-wise water rates in the State are given below:

Season/Type Name of Crops Water Rates in

First and single wet crop 494.00

Second and third wet crop 370.50
Category-I
First irrigated dry crop & Second and third irrigated dry 247.00

2.2.3 Assam

2.2.3.1 In Assam, the water rates are fixed in conformity with the Fiscal Reforms Programme
(Reforms in the Non-Tax Revenue) of the State Government. The charges are realized by
Irrigation Department through Beneficiary Committees of the Irrigation schemes.

2.2.3.2 The rates of service charges were refixed vide Notification No. IGN(W)3/2000/pt/28
dated 30.03.2000 with immediate effect.

2.2.3.3 Principal crops of the state are Paddy i.e. Sali, Sali (HYV), Bao, Ahu, Boro, Jute and Wheat.
The Agriculture Seasons of the state are Kharif (July to Sept.), Rabi (Oct. To March) and Summer
(April to June).

2.2.4 Bihar

2.2.4.1 Water rates in Bihar are fixed keeping in view of the following inputs:
i) Cost of maintenance and repair.
ii) Abnormal rise in labour rate.
iii) Cost of creation of irrigation potential.
iv) Support price of agricultural products.
v) Comparison of water rates vis--vis those in other Departments viz., Minor Irrigation
Department of the State and the Irrigation Departments of other neighbouring
States.
vi) Paying capacity of the farmers.

2.2.4.2 Water from Major and Medium Projects is utilised for Flow irrigation through perennial
and non-perennial canals. Cropping seasons span from 26th October to 25th March for Rabi
crops, 25th June to 25th October for Kharif crops and 25th February to 25th June for hot weather
crops according to which the irrigation water is required to be regulated in the State. The
principal crops grown in the State are Paddy (mid-May to November), Maize (end of May to
July), Millet (June to October/November), Wheat (November to April), Barley (November to
March/April), Kharif pulses (May/June to March/April) and Rabi pulses (October/mid-November

2.2.9 Haryana

2.2.9.1 The criterion adopted for fixing water rates broadly depends upon the quantum of water
consumed by a particular crop from the time of sowing to maturity and the paying capacity of
the irrigator with a view to cover maintenance cost of running of channels. The capacity and
assuredness of irrigation are also kept in view while fixing water rates in Haryana.

2.2.9.2 Requirement of water for drinking, agricultural and commercial purposes in the State is
met mainly from Bhakra Canal and Yamuna Canal. The State has specified water rates for
irrigation crop-wise for each of these canal systems. Hemp, Indigo, Gaura, Jantar and Arhar
ploughed in as green manure before 15th September are not assessable for charging of water
rates.

2.2.9.3 The water rates for various crops grown in Haryana have been revised in 2000 with the
promulgation of the State Government Gazette No. 1/15/93-IW dated 27.07.2000. The water
rates for the purpose of irrigation from all canals and drains are notified separately for crops
grouped in categories "A" to "F". Category A encompasses green manure crops for which no
water rates are charged.

2.2.9.4 The water rates charges are 50% of the normal water rates on using water saving devices
like drip and sprinkler irrigation by the irrigator on the lift outlets and also for lift maintained and
operated by the cultivators (Jallars).

2.2.10 Himachal Pradesh

2.2.10.1 The basis of fixation of water rates is type of irrigation schemes i.e. whether Lift
irrigation or Flow irrigation. The following factors were taken into account by the State for
arriving at revised water rates:

1. O&M costs of the irrigation schemes.

2. Cost of material, labour and Energy charges.

2.2.10.2 In the State, there are mainly two cropping seasons namely, Rabi and Kharif but as per
advancement made in agriculture methods, improved seeds and use of fertilizers, the farmers of
this hilly-area-dominated State have started growing Zaid crops in the period between Rabi and
Kharif on lands, where assured irrigation facilities are available. The principal crops grown in the
State during Kharif season include maize, paddy, sugarcane, Cotton, Watermelon, Opium,
Oilseed, orchards and vegetables. The principal crops grown during the Rabi season are wheat,
oilseeds, grams, pulses, barley, Bajra, Masoor, vegetables and fodder crops. Crops like toria,
potato and peas are cultivated during Zaid season.

2.2.24.1 The Department of Irrigation and Flood control deals with irrigation, cultivable land and
surface Flow irrigation channel for water rates in the State. There are three types of land in this
State namely Paddy field, Cardamom field and dry field. Similarly, the crops are classified in Class
I, Class II and Class III and the water rates are minimum Rs.10/- per hectare and Maximum
Rs.250/- per hectare.
The crop-wise water rates in the State are given below:

2.2.25.1 Following systems are taken into account while fixing the water rates for irrigation in
the State:

1. Wet Assessment
2. Dry Assessment
3. Special Rates of Water Cess
4. Standard Scales of Water Cess

2.2.25.2 The system of water rates for irrigation prevalent in the State encompasses Wet
Assessment, Dry Assessment, Special Rates of Water Cess and Standard Scales of Water Cess.
Wet lands are those, which receive irrigation from a recognized source. The sources of irrigation
are classified as class I, II, III, IV and V as per their capacity to irrigate the lands. The basic wet
assessment of these lands ranges from Rs.7.41 to Rs.54.36 per hectare. The lands do not have
any assured irrigation from Government source are classified as dry lands. The basic assessment
ranges from Rs.1.24 to Rs.19.77 per hectare for the dry lands, not getting irrigation from
recognized Government sources. Wet lands normally getting assured supply of water from
Government sources of irrigation for two crops are registered as double crop-wet lands. The
second crop is charged generally at half the rate as that of the first crop assessment. In the case
of single crop wet lands, if a second crop is raised, an extra charge is levied which is ordinarily
half the assessment.

30
 Pricing of Water in Public System in India 2017

2.2.25.3 To augment the revenue from irrigation, the State Government has introduced
additional wet assessment with effect from 01.07.1962 as under:

Details of Additional Wet Assessment

(i) Irrigation from Class I and II sources :

a) Single Crop Wet Lands 45% of the assessment. Total of wet assessment plus
additional assessment not to exceed Rs. 44.48 per ha.
per crop.
b) Double Crop Wet Lands 45% of the assessment. Total of wet assessment plus
additional assessment not to exceed Rs. 66.72 per ha.
per crop.
(ii) Irrigation from Class III, IV and V sources :
a) Single Crop Wet Lands 30% of the assessment. Total of wet assessment plus
additional assessment not to exceed Rs. 29.65 per ha.
per crop.
b) Double Crop Wet Lands 30% of the assessment. Total of wet assessment plus
additional assessment not to exceed Rs. 42 per ha. per
crop.

2.2.25.4 When dry lands are irrigated with water from Government sources of irrigation, water
cess is levied in addition to the dry assessment. For normal extension of irrigation to dry lands
under the registered sources, standard water rates are levied. The standard water rates have
been fixed by dividing the irrigation sources into two categories. The irrigation sources placed in
class I and II fall in the first category and the sources in the III, IV and V classes in the second
category. The standard water rates range from Rs. 3.71 to Rs. 9.88 per hectare for first crop, half
of it for second crop and one-fourth for third and subsequent crops. For Double Crops, the rates
are Rs. 11.12 or Rs. 14.83 per hectare if the irrigation is from the source in the second category
or from the first category. An additional water cess is levied on the above dry lands, at the
following rates w.e.f. 06.11.1987.

Details of Additional Dry Land Assessment

Sources of Irrigation Cess Levied
a) Irrigation from I 75% of the water cess. Where more than one crop is grown, for
and II class the first crop the aggregate of land revenue, water cess and
sources. additional water cess should not exceed Rs. 37.07 per hectare
and in the case of second and subsequent crops water cess and
additional water cess at 75% is levied.
b) Irrigation from III, 37.5% of the water cess. Where more than one crop is grown,

Uttarakhand, the water rates for irrigation purposes have been fixed on the basis of availability
of water in consideration to U.P. Govt. Notification vide Letter No.2874/ dated 18-09-1995. The
canal system has been classified into four schedules:

(i) Schedule -I: Irrigation Block, Upper Ganga canal of Hardwar, 13 canal of Khatima areas in
Rudrapur and four canals in Nanakmatta and all canal system of increasing water.

2.2.35 Puducherry

2.2.35.1 Water rates for the supply of water for irrigation from Government sources are
regulated by Puducherry Irrigation Cess Regulation 1976. Basic structure of irrigation rates is
akin to that of Tamil Nadu. The water rates for Puducherry, Mahe and Yaman regions were
finalised based on the rates prevailing in the adjacent areas of South Arcot District, Tanjore
District and Karaikal Region. The water rates levied in these regions were notified on 31.3.1979.

2.2.35.2 In this Union Territory, dual irrigation systems are adopted. In Puducherry Region,
ground water is main source of irrigation whereas canal irrigation is very popular in Karaikal and
Yanam region. As for as Mahe region is concerned, neither pattern of irrigation is followed since
the availability of land for raising principal food crops is very meagre.

2.2.35.3 As far as Puducherry region is concerned for more than two decades, ground water has
become the only main source of irrigation carried on by means of bore wells owned by the
farming community with which principal food crops are cultivated for three season viz.
Sornavari, Samba and Navarai during the Agricultural year (July to June). In view of inadequate
availability of water in the tank and release thereof through entire crop season, no cess is levied.
The main crops of the state are Paddy, Ragi, Bajara, Cholam (Millets), Black Gram, Green gram
and Sugarcane.

Chapter III

System of Assessment and Collection of Revenue

3.1 Basic Principle for Assessment

3.1.2 The basic approach for the assessment and collection of water charges is to recover the
cost of supply of water by the State Governments from the irrigators. The rates are worked out
on the basis of water requirements for crops and gross area under irrigation.
3.2 Mechanism of Assessment and Collection of Revenue
3.2.1 There is considerable diversity in the country in the mechanism for collection of Irrigation
Water Revenue. In some States, the assessments as well as collection of the Water Revenue are
handled by the Irrigation Department. Likewise, in some of states, assessment is done by
Irrigation Department whereas collection is in the domain of the Revenue Department. In some
other States assessment as well as collection are the responsibilities of the Revenue
Department. There are also States and UTs where no irrigation water rates are levied and
consequently no mechanism for collection of water revenue exists. The mechanism of revenue
collection is in different states are given below:

Department Responsible for Mechanism adopted in States/UTs

Assessment/Collection.
1. Irrigation Department does Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Goa, Jammu &
assessment and collection Kashmir, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur,
Maharashtra, Orissa (for industrial & commercial
use)Rajasthan(for irrigation project irrigating more
than 2500 acres), West Bengal, Union Territories of
Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu.
2. Irrigation Department does Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh,
assessment but collection is Uttaranchal and Delhi.
entrusted to Revenue Department
3. Revenue Department does both Andhra Pradesh, Chandigarh, Karnataka, Kerala,
assessment and collection Orissa (for Major & Medium Schemes).Rajasthan
(for Schemes Irrigating less than 2500 acres), Tamil
Nadu, Puducherry.
4. Water Rates but no mechanism Sikkim
available in the State
5. Panchayat/Block Advisory Tripura
Committee
6. No Water rates and its assessment Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland,
/collection in vogue Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep.

3.3 The revenue collection mechanism as prevailing in various States/UTs along with crop-
wise water in respect of flow and lift irrigation are described in detail as under:

3.3.1 Andhra Pradesh

3.3.1.1 The irrigation water revenue collection is under the control of Revenue Department. The
