CESC (Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation) — Excess Metering

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal

Consumer no [protected] Dear Sir / Madam, Re: Excess Billing for the month of June 2014 Ref: Consumer no [protected], Domestic. Complaint Docket: 150714/[protected]/150714 I received the above Bill for Rs. 9820.00 for a consumption of 1124 units during the month of June’ 14 which is exorbitantly high compared to the past history of 18 years since we took the possession of the flat. It is also true that no extra load has been added since the time of possession excepting normal wear and tear and that too with much more energy efficient bulbs and tube lights. The consistent consumption pattern for years together will justify itself in support of my statement. Also it may please be noted that since possession I and my wife have been staying in this flat for the last 18 years. We both leave for our offices together at 10:30 in the morning and come back home by 7 o’ clock in the night and use the same electrical system that we have been using since beginning. I am strongly of the opinion that either there were some technical defects in the meter or may be some other faults to investigate by you and determine. I am really stunned as I find no justified reason for such exorbitant consumption. If you deem fit you may also please depute your person under intimation to me to check the installations at my place. My meter was of manual type which has recently been replaced with a digital one after this complaint but can someone help to sort out the excess Bill which I think should be settled on on average consumption basis. Thank you JK. Seal
