I have 2 meters in my house. Since the past 2 years, I'm fed up with faulty meters being fitted by JVVNL, which result in:
a) Immense inconvenience and wastage of time to get it replaced;
b) New meter cost that needs to be paid every time the meter is replaced
c) WORSE - The method of calculation of average electricity consumption for the period the meter was faulty, is V. UNJUST & UNETHICAL, which results in V.HIGH bill based on Average consumption. The method of avg consumption calculation is: Average of last 6 months consumption, or, Consumptino of same period of last year, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER. Now, with this clause "WHICHER IS HIGHER" whenever the meter goes faulty, it is the consumer who'd INVARIABLY pay higher cost, REGARDLESS of the month in which the meter has gone bad.
d) It seems to be the unwritten unfair monopolistic policy of the service provider TO EARN HIGHER REVENUE IN THIS MANNER BY SUPPLYING FAULTY METERS to consumers.
e) This needs to be challenged by way of a PIL in the Hon'ble HC here, which I'll be doing shortly.
If anybody wishes to join hands with me, pls contact me.

To whom it may concern
I made a written complaint about my electric meter fault (not working at all) to JEN (Electricity), Pratapnager on 27th Sep 2010. He marked the application for JEN meter section asked me to give that application to JEN meter section. I gave it to meter section and asked that approximately how many days it will take to change the meter he told me that about a month. Yesterday (21st Dec 2010) some of the officials turned up and took the meter with them. I was not at home and my wife showed the application marked by JEN but they did not inform anything. I am still unaware how many days it will take to get a new electric meter. In the meantime I am paying the meter rent for faulty meter that is not working at all. Hoping to see a positive response.
