5          Important note for consumers :

Timely payment of bills by the consumers
The Commission is of the view that alongwith ensuring timely distribution of bills by the utility to the consumers, the consumers also have a moral responsibility for making timely payment of bills to the utility for the commodity and the services availed.

In exceptional case of non-receipt of bill by the consumer within 15 days of reading of meter or 20 days of the due date of payment of preceeding month’s bill, the consumer is expected to collect the bill himself from the utility office and make payment before due date. In case of any non-cooperation in making available the duplicate bill, concerned MPSEB officer will be held responsible.

6         Minimum Charges :

(a)       For tariff 2.2 (three phase connection) charges equal to 45 units per month per  kW or part thereof  of CL would be charged.
(b)        For tariff 2.3 (MD based Tariff) demand charges on CD would be charged.

7        Billing in case of defective meters

 The consumer shall be billed for the period, when the meter has become defective, on the basis of average consumption of previous three meter reading cycles.  In cases where the recorded consumption of past three meter reading cycles, prior to the date meter became defective, is either not available or partially available, the consumption pattern of three meter reading cycles subsequent to the installation of repaired/replaced meter shall be taken for estimation of consumption.  This charge shall be levied till the meter is repaired/replaced and metering restored on the actual consumption basis.

       Additional Charge

8.1.  (a) The consumers availing supply at Tariff 2.3 should at all times restrict their actual maximum demand within the contract demand.  In case the actual maximum demand in any month exceeds the contract demand, the said tariff shall apply only to the extent of the contract demand  and corresponding units of energy. The demand in excess of contract demand and corresponding units of energy (hereinafter referred to as “Excess Supply”) shall be treated as power supplied and availed of separately for billing purposes.  The excess supply so availed, if any, in any month shall be charged at two times normal rates prescribed in the tariff applicable to the consumer and while doing so, the other terms and conditions (viz. fixed charges, charges for low power  factor, etc.) of tariff shall also be applicable on the said excess supply.  For the purposes of billing of excess supply the billing demand and the units of energy shall be determined as under:-

Billing demand: The demand in excess of the contract demand in any month shall be the billing demand.

Units of Energy: the units of energy corresponding to kWs of the portion of the demand in excess of the contract demand shall be:-  

TU  - 

TU  x CD   

MD 

 Where, 
       TU  - denotes total units supplied during the month;
       CD  - denotes contract demand, and
       MD – denotes actual maximum demand

The “excess supply” availed in any month shall be charged along- with the monthly bill and shall be payable by the consumer therewith.

(b)  The above excess billing at two times the normal tariff, applicable to consumers is without prejudice to the Board’s right   to discontinue the supply in accordance with the provisions contained in the Board’s  ‘General Conditions for Supply of Electrical Energy and Scale of Miscellaneous and General Charges’.

(c)  The connected load under the Tariff 2.3 would mean the connected load entered in the agreement executed with the consumer even in cases where the actual connected load is less than the connected load entered in the agreement.

8.2         The foregoing tariffs 2.1 and 2.2 are applicable to the extent of the connected load for which the agreement subsists between the Board and the consumer.  In case the connected load in the consumer's premises is at any time found in excess of what has been agreed to between the consumer and the Board, the consumer shall have to pay in respect of units (including minimum charge) corresponding to the excess load at 1.5 times the normal tariff rate (inclusive of Fuel/Variable Cost Adjustment Charge, if any), for previous three months immediately preceding the date of inspection, unless the onus is rebutted by the consumer.

9                 Rounding off

All bills will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.

10        Other Terms and Conditions
