West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company [WBSEDCL] — Excessively high bill (consumer id:[protected]

The person who came for meter reading in may 16 informed us that the meter needs to be replaced. We told him that we had not been living continuously in that house since 2nd week of january. We intermittently go to that place (4-5 days in a month), because of which meter reading is very low in comparison to previous months. He did not listen to us and advised us to go to the local electricity office for bill payment and raising a complaint for changing meter. We did accordingly. The bill that was generated came to rs 5700 (880 units) for the consumption period mar-16 to may-16. Our consumption of electricity for previous periods are given below which clearly shows that the actual consumption is much lower than what is charged by the electricity office.

Electricity consumption:

Jun-15 to aug-15: 704 units
Sep-15 to nov-15: 665 units
Dec-15 to feb-16: 274 units (Low as we stayed mostly in a different place)
Mar-16 to may-16: 880 units (Should be lower than 274 units)

Requesting the concerned authority to look into the issue and resolve the case. There must be some policy regarding estimate of power consumption in such circumstances.
