Normally bills are prepared based on the actual consumption recorded in the meter. Differance in bills are as a result of actual units consumed, Eg in summer due to higher usage of airconditioners, we generally see a surge in units consumed, hence billed amount.
Request you to use our energy calculator on this portal to see how a few more/less hours of usage impacts the units consumed.
Assesed bills are sent in case a meter was not read for reasons like either the premises of the consumer was found locked/inaccessible, or in some rare cases, if the meter display has becomes faulty. Hence, the meter remains unread & the consumer gets a assessed bill.
As the name suggestes, such bills are assesed based on your previous billing pattern. On resolving the meter reading issues, the billing amount would be debited or credited, as the case may be, in the subsquent bill cycle.
Non Payment of bills is the main reason for disconnection. In case the due amount is not paid within 15 days of the notice issued, your power supply is liable to be disconnected.
Such delayed payment would be accepted only at our Plug Point, easy pay outlets and also through our online mode.
The connection can be restored on payment of outstanding amount, along with reconnection charges and additional security deposit, if required.
In case where the cheque issued is dishonoured by your bank, you are requied to make the payment thru demand draft or cash.
In case the premises is going to be closed for 6 months, you may -
