They are now delivered 99% of the time.
«The attached draft amendment regulates the following issues: it is possible to refuse to provide the consumer with a paper payment document» — we read in the justification of the draft government decree published on the portal of draft legal acts.
Paper bills for housing and utilities are delivered today 99% of the time, Pavel Sklyanchuk, an expert on the All-Russian People’s Front (ONF) thematic platform Housing and Urban Environment, told TASS. According to him, in recent years, management companies and resource providers have increasingly started invoicing to personal accounts, but payment by mail is still considered the correct method of delivery.
«Now it is proposed to allow, at the request of the owner, who lives abroad, for example, to receive receipts only by e-mail or through the state housing and communal information system, without duplication in paper form,» said Sklanczuk. However, he pointed out that in court, in order to prove the incorrect calculation of the amount of the payment or the absence of payment debts, it would be necessary to present printed documents.
As previously calculated by Doma.ai (Sberbank’s ecosystem) analysts, management companies and homeowners’ associations will be able to save up to 5 billion rubles a year if they refuse to receive paper bills.
