I refer to your bill no.[protected] dt[protected] for rs 22430/-
I have a strong feeling the energy bill has been generated without taking actual meter reading. The bill is disproportionate to the actual power consumption. I would like to state before pointing out the factual positions before pointing out anomalies. I am a software professional and has been working from home since last almost a year i. E. Much before the declaration of the lock down declared by the government of maharashtra and government of india from 22nd march, 2020. The possibility of abnormal increase in power consumption is totally ruled out during lockdown period.
My power consumption is on and average ranging from 250 units to maximum of 300 units except 525 units shown in june2019. My kitchen was under major renovation during 1st week of may2019 to first week of june 2019. The gas connection was disconnected. The electrical cookers were used for preparing food boiling milk and tea for almost a year. The power consumption was possibly doubled during the bill period of june 2019 bill. It is for this reasons the bill for june 2019 is 525 units as against average consumption ranging from 250 units to 300 units.
I have been paying monthly energy bill regularly - the record is available for verification. Further, the computation of power bill is also incorrect even if you reading is assumed as correct. The no. O[censored]nits should have been accounted for while calculating each month bill before raising the same. As per payment history mentioned in your bill is as follows

Month. Reading no o[censored]nits. Amount

March. 14626. 238 - 1760

April. 14626. 247 2720
May. 14338. 247 3890

You will observe from above the consumption for march 238 units and april 247 units whereas reading remains the same as consumption shown for march 238 units and april 247 units. The unit consumption for may is shown as 247 units where as amount of bill is rs. 3890 for may as against rs.2720 for april. The unit consumption has suddenly jumped to 2219 unit as against unit consumption on and average 250 units for the previous months – the rise is almost 9times. My basic complaint is against abnormal rise almost 9 times the normal average power consumption which has never exceeded beyond 300 units. It clearly indicates error in meter reading. I request you to depute your concerned executive for taking actual reading. I will pay the revised bill upon taking fresh reading immediately
