Reliance Energy — high electricity bill due to tampering of meter

Address:

400102

Sub:- exorbitant bill amount, due to manipulation by reliance staff reg.
Ref:- account no.[protected]

I have to bring to your kind notice that my electricity bill for the month of october’17 was received with payable amount of rs.16, 250/- (Rupees sixteen thousand two hundred fifty). My average billing for every month was around rs.2500/- as can be seen from the bills for the months of june’17 – rs.2341/-, july’17 – rs.2550/-, august’17 – rs.2700/- and sept.’17 – rs.2463/- (Bill copies enclosed). Hence the exorbitant jump of billing to rs.16250/- is not correct.

The exorbitant jump in the bill amount occurred due to tampering of my electric meter by your staff. About 15 days back 2 of your staff came to my society (Which is recorded in the cctv) and requested our watchman to open the meter room and they informed that they want to change my electric meter. Point to note is that no complaint was given by me in this regard to change my meter or non working of the same, nor any correspondence was received from your office about any fault in my meter. Hence your staff on their own coming and tampering with my meter alone and due to which the consumption of my electricity has jumped and an exorbitant amount is charged to me is objectionable and requires proper enquiry.

Please note that i am a prompt payer of bill and been availing the prompt payment discount. Hence due to tampering of my meter this jump in bill has occurred which needs an enquiry. I am sending a copy of this letter to all concerns and to your vigilance section. You are requested to look into this episode and advise and rectify the electricity bill sent to me and oblige.
