Address:

Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam

To The SDO ASEB, Zoo Road, Guwahati-5 Sub : Complaint against fraudulent charge of electric bills Meter No- APD 335801 & APD-33580. Dear Sir I am authorised by my wife, Mrs. L. P Senapati to complain against the APD company for imaginary electric charges as shown below. 1. The bill no. 1524308, from 1.10.14 to 1.11.14 for 31 days ne units were 468 payable amount Rs. 3487.00 average daily units cost Rs. 112.48. 2. Bill no[protected] from 2.12.14 to 9.1.15 for 39 days net units 721 total payable amount Rs. 5614.00 daily average unit cost Rs. 143.94. 3. Bill no. [protected] from 9.1.15 to 2.2.15 for 24 days net units 791 total payable amount Rs. 5868 daily average cost Rs. 244.50. Having seen the anomalies in the past bills I have hung a notice board in front of the meter box door requesting the meter reader to note the meter units thereon. The meter reader Shri Santosh noted meter No APD 33581 units 0056241 dt. 1.12.14. He did not note the units for the bill 2.12.14 to 9.1.15 and against the bill no[protected] period from 9.2.15.to 2.2.15 had shown an imaginary units against the bills. As he did not come personally last two times except one it is clear from the units that APD co. has been compelling the consumer to pay more and more increasingly monthly under the Ransom clause "Pay first then complain" without result. APDC Ltd. co. is charging amounts by fraudulent means from the consumer to enhance the income of the company not by honesty & efficiency. Similar is the case of the meter no. APD 33580 consumer no. [protected] where increase of monthly amount is seen. In West Bengal Govt. the noted units by the meter reader have been signed by the consumer. It may be mentioned that I had lodged many complains in the past but the SDOs did not care to redress the complaints until the then chairman of ASEB Shri C. K Das took action by firing the meter readers who had given wrong units to office and as such time has come to take drastic action against the meter reader and the deliquent officer. However, please take immediate action for adjustment. Yours faithfully G.C. Senapati for Mrs L P Senapati Shree Nagar, Ghy-05 Ph- [protected]
