Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation [CESC] — High electricity bill for may, 2017

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal, 700050

My consumer no: [protected] consumer id: [protected].

I have been charged very high bill for the month of may 2017. The amount is 3440 for a unit of 405. This is not the first time that i have been charged a high bill, earlier we taken it lightly, but now bill for may month is too high to afford.in winter the bill comes around rupees 800-900, but in summer it rises to rs.[protected], how it is possible for such a difference in summer and winter, as all the devices runs for same hour in both winter and summer except the fans. Only fans running extra in summer can't increase bill so much.

My electronic device:5 tube light (36w each), 4 ceiling fan, one crt tv, one refrigerator, one washing machine (That is hardly used once in a week) and one ac, which is installed in first week of may (Which only runs on night for 4-5hrs).
All of these devices are not running for 24 hr.

I don't understand how its possible to come such a high amount o[censored]nit 405. I am an engineer and i know the calculation how the unit is generated. If 1000 w device running for 1 hr then only 1 unit is generated. Then how its possible to show 405 is generated.

We have lodged complain in cesc, but they have not taken any action
I appeal to the concerned authority to take suitable steps, investigate the bill amount so that it can be adjusted later as it is very difficult to pay in this way.

Regards,
Jay prakash shaw
