Dear Members, I have a feeling that there is some error in the generation of electricity bills by the DISCOMs in Delhi specially after 1st October 2015. Can few members (may be 10-15 all-together comprising from all the three DISCOMs) share the electricity bill received by them after 1st October 2015. The scanned copy may be emailed at skvirmani@gmail.com more  

I have gone through the bills. there is nothing but management of preparing the bills. This is difficult to understand by an ordinary person. DISOMs do not prepare bill like 1-200 units Rs 4/- per units and above Rs 5.95 per units. They used to divide the units proportionately while preparing the bills. You will see on an average increase in a bill by Rs 50 to Rs 60/- per bill. Now study the bill and proceed for further necessary action. Ram Yadav more  
Dear Mr. Shishir Ji, Thanks for your keen interest and the comments thereon. The issue which has come to notice is in their software and I shall be taking up the issue with DERC and Delhi Ministry of Power. If my interpretation is correct, to my estimation BSES alone may be making somewhere more than Rs. 1.50 crore to 2.0 crore per month or Rs. 20 crore per annum on an average unethically based on the assumption that they may have somewhere around 20 Lakh consumers in Delhi. I am still looking forward copies of the bills on sample basis from members to have proper representation of the facts before DERC and Ministry of Power, Govt. of Delhi, Ministry of Consumer Affairs with a demand for refund/ adjustment of excess amount to all consumers. So far I have studied three bills on sample basis and all the bills have substantiated of charging the excess amount and such excess charges have come to Rs. 38.20, Rs. 965.47 and Rs. 13.00 respectively in these three bills. If Tata Power Ltd. is also adapting similar way of bill generation then all the Delhi residents are being charged extra against DERC rules. more  
In normal course without manual intervention it would not be possible for DISCOMs to inflate the bills. This is very much possible where electronic meters do not exist and manual readings are taken by the Meter Readers. Yes, there are certain issues where DISCOMs are playing. BRPL has allowed additional 1.035% charges to the consumers if a consumer is paying through credit card when the billed amount is higher than Rs. 5000/-. Higher concern what consumer should have is associated with the tariff which is too high when compared to average cost of generation in the country. None of the government is keen to look at this aspect and on the other hand the governments are not keen to optimise the cost of generation specifically when the used resources in the generation are fully from within the country. In my opinion none of the consumer of any category through out the country should be made liable to pay a tariff higher than Rs. 4.00 to 4.50 per unit of electricity consumed. And if government wishes to extend benefit to any specific category DISCOMs should be charging Rs. 3.00 per unit at least. Further, governments wish to extend any subsidy to specific consumers this amount on three monthly basis should be directly paid to the consumer through the bank accounts as is being practised for subsidy on LPG but as and when gas is bought. My strong suggestion would be that all consumers should learn to respect the basic cost of a consumable it consumes in its day to day life and it must pay the same to service provider without any default for transparent management and compliance with the rights. more
