SUB: COMPLAINT REGRADING FAULTY READING OF ELECTRIC METER NO : 02300996 & EXTREMELY HIGH BILL AMOUNT.
Dear Sir,
I am Shailesh Gada,staying at Shankeshwar nagar, Manpada road,Dombivli-East
This month we are shocked to see an unlikely high bill (Our second bill) amount of Rs 2300 (bill period 17 july 09 to 20 aug 09)being charged. Several residents in our colony are facing similar complaints. As middle class people, we absolutely cannot afford such high bills, especially when our electrical consumption doesn’t even amount to a fraction of what is being charged from us this time.
There definitely seems to be some manipulation and/or error/ defect as far as the meter is concerned.
All that we use in our house is only a Computer for 1 hr a day, TV for 2-3 hrs daily,a tube light in one of the rooms every day for 6 hrs, 1 fan in any one room everyday for 12 to 14 hours, the refrigerator which is on at all times, and the mixer grinder which is used rarely,
We DON’T have the following High power consuming appliances like AC, Geyser, Water heater, Washing machine, Microwave oven etc, which can lead to such a huge bill amount:
We have shifted to this place in Dombivli east in the month of May 2009.Right from the day one we have been experiencing constant and extreme swings in electric voltage. Several times the some of our appliances have got damaged due to high voltage spikes, thereby incurring extra expenses in terms of electrical repairs of the electrical applainces.
My Bill details are as below:

The Staff has soft corner to this dombilvi Villagers who are Big Builders or Hoteliers and they provide illegal Power supplies to their hotels and houses and some one has to be billed. So this is the very reason you are getting large amount of bills.
At least you are getting the Bills people staying in Pagadi Resident flats in Dombilvi are harassed more by this staff and frequently disconnect lines of genuine bill payers on the advice of this villagers.
And frankly speaking iam one of the harassed lot.
