Now, the central government is going to take major steps on the power category. For the first time in India, power consumers are going to get new power. On this, the Power Ministry has sought suggestions from general persons and state governments on Electricity of Consumers Rules, 2020. Now you will get the electricity connection only when you are ready to have a smart or prepaid meter.
However, if there is an apprehension on the electricity bill, the distribution companies will give you the option to take real time consumption details. In fact, the Ministry of Power is going to give it legally through new consumer rules. Consumers will be able to put these smart or prepaid meters by themselves or get it from the discoms. At the same time, the consumer will not be pressured to take the meter from the discoms. The consumer has the option to send the bill details on his own. Not only that, the distribution company would not be able to send you any unshakeable provisional bills.
In the emergency situation, only 2 times in a financial year, the provisional bills can be sent. Let us say that in the name of provisional bill in covid-19 period, companies have sent bodybuilders bills. These provisions have been made by the Ministry of Power in draft consumer rights 2020. At the same time, power users will get new power-if a customer comes late by the bill 60 days, the customer will get a discount of up to 2-5% in the bill. The electricity bill will be able to be paid from cash, cheque, debit card or net banking, but the bill payment of Rs. 1000 or above is online only. At the same time, there can be many changes.
