FAQs - Billing

How does the billing system work?

After the meter is connected/energised a K.No is allotted based on the location and a nearby consumer number. This determines your Cycle Number and Book Number. Based on Cycle Number, readings are taken by our Meter Reader every month or bimonthly. After readings are taken and verified, the data is sent to our Computer Division for generation of the bill. The divisional office then distributes the printed bills through Bill Distributors.

My two meters have been combined into one. How will it impact my bills?

Even in the past, for a consumer having two meters, the units consumed by each of the meters was combined and tariff applicable was based on the total units combined by the two meters.

For eg:
When there are two meters showing consumption of say 70 units and 44 units each, at the time of the billing, these units are combined and tariff is applicable to 114 units.

With these two meters being replaced by a single meter you will be billed on the total units consumed which is same as in the earlier case. There would be therefore no change what so ever in the total bill amount if two meters were replaced by one meter

The person who occupied my flat before me was using this premises for commercial purposes. I am using it as a residence. What is the procedure to convert a commercial bill to a residential tariff bill?

We would request you to give your application along with Inspection fee, documentary proof at our divisional office for the category change. Upon receiving your application a designated person will come for a site and category change verification for usage of electricity in your premises.

eg:
Suppose your New K.No. 1230 O515 0032
