The BMC's proposed Pay-and-Use Policy 2026 seeks to increase public toilet charges, including women's urinal fees from ₹2 to ₹5 and bathing charges from ₹5 to ₹10. Men may face a ₹1 urinal fee. The policy also proposes advertising revenue, digital complaint systems, commercial amenities and stricter contractor accountability. The revised tariffs await discussion and approval by civic authorities.
