Dear Sir/ Ma’am,
The applicant is occupying at Flat No. C-2, Jeevan Niwas Bulding, Pramatha Chowdhury Sarani, Block-R, New Alipore, Kolkata – 700 053 as a tenant and is the consumer in respect of the subject Meter which is registered with the CESC in the name of his Landlord Shri Gour Gopal Banik.
The issue pertains to the regular overbilling of my electricity meter for the months of May, 2014 and now June, 2014. As per the bill, the total units consumed for the months of May, 2014 and June, 2014 were 615 and 517 units respectively due to which the billed amount for the respective months came out to be in excess of Rs. 4, 000/- each for both the months.
This is in contrast and serious contradiction to my earlier electricity charges which used to hover some where around 150 units p.m. These overly exaggerated electricity bills have come as a rude shock and utter surprise as my electricity consumption has not increased in the same proportion.
This is to further submit that the applicant has never been a defaulter in making prompt and timely payment of his electricity charges which can be verified from the records.
In view of the above, it is requested to look into the matter at an urgent basis and to rectify the erroneous reading of my electricity meter for May and June, 2014 at least and to save me from any mental agony and /or financial loss(es). It is also requested that the excess electricity payment made by the applicant, as detailed above, may be adjusted against the electricity bills for the months of July, 2014 onwards.
Thanking You.
Very Sincerely Yours’

Complaint marked as Resolved
Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation [CESC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Amount shown in the bill against consumption of 1144 units is absurd and shocking. Our load consisting of CFL and two ceiling fans have remained unchanged for last few years.More over the present reading is shown as 6379 and previous reading comfortably not mentioned. In the month of May, 2014 the previous reading was mentioned but not the present reading. These are the types of bills being sent to the consumers to create unnecessary confusion.
The meter reading was checked 2015 hrs on 31/07/2014 and was found to be showing 5432. Can you please explain how can the meter reading taken on 19/06/14 show 6379?
Kindly send your reply with the revised bill for June 2014, till then I shall keep the payment on hold. I should not be penalised in any way for fault/lapses at your end.
Regards.
