Respected sir,

We, arnav castings & engineers (Ace) are the licensee & actual users of the said meter. We hereby state that earlier to mar’18 our factory was up & running & that we had paid about rs.6, 06, 000/= in mar’18 so as to take care of all our msedcl pending dues till then.

However, we realized that we are making heavy losses & hence we returned the customers heavy machinery (9 nos.) back to them in the month of mar’18 & thereafter there was virtually negligible work with us. Sometimes only 1 or 2 of the remaining 3 small machines were operating & that too for a single shift instead of the 24 x 7 earlier. We were happy that by returning back the heavy machines (9 nos.) we would be saving on a lot of overheads especially labor & power.

In april’18 we received no msedcl bill. Upon enquiring at the msedcl ganesh nagar office, talawade, pune, we were told that there is excess payment in the account & that until it is adjusted the bill will not be sent. However, we insisted for a hard copy & a print out of the same was given to us (Bill for mar’18, bill date 09.04.2018 pic attached along with) showing a negative balance of rs.9870/=. Satisfied with the reply & having a hard copy we left the msedcl office. They also informed us that we can check online too. Thereafter, every month we have been checking online & it was showing a negative balance & as there was virtually negligible work we were certain that the excess payment was getting adjusted.

However, we received a shock when suddenly in oct’18 we receive a bill of rs.1557310/= for 181738 units used. The past history of 6 months showing “ 0 “ billing & then suddenly this huge amount with such heavy power usage put us in a critical condition.. As due to this the landlord also put a lock on our factory asking us to settle this matter first.

Hence, we state that this bill for the month of sep’18, bill date 09.10.2018 (Pic attached along with) for rs.1557310/= is not correct & just based on some imaginary assumption of the msedcl & thereby concocted. Even when we were operating at full swing such heavy bills never came. The reading of 181738 units is also faulty & given our absolutely poor or negligent work condition not possible.

Thereby, we request you to settle this matter at the earliest as our work which was near to negligible has been totally stopped due to the land lord’s action due to this exorbitant msedcl bill causing us huge losses as well as innumerable problems & difficulties. We hope you will rectify the bill (As it should be less than rs.50000/= only) at the very earliest & oblige.
