My TNEB meter is not working. As per TNEB rules I understand from local office, I have to pay average of last 2 payment cycle. But, for June '11 cycle, I was using AC fully. For Aug'11 cycle AC usage was limited due to change in climatic condition. For Oct'11, the AC usage is nil (Asyou know this climate does not need AC at all) Considering the prevailing rule, I have to pay average of consumption for the period till meter is replaced. This is very shocking. Considering the steep increase in EB tariff, it is very unfar on TNEB's part to penalise consumer for TNEB's error. Having a faulty meter is not my problem.
This meter was newly fitted on Mar'11. How come a newly fitted meter fails in less than 6 months (The same issue is faced by my neighbour in the same flat). I remember, we had meter working in my father's house for more than 30 years. Whose problem is to have such sub-standrad meter? Why TNEB is penalising consumer for their issues?
I donot want to pay extra for the unit I have not consumed. My average consumption during peak summer will be around 700 unit (for 2 months cycle) & non-sumer seasons around 350 units. I feel, am cheated when I am forced to pay more than what I am consuming. Considering new tariff, from next billing cycle I will be paying atleast Rs 700/- extra. I hope you can appreciate, this is not small amount for a middle class person.
With regards
