As i had complaint regarding the faulty meter and after making continues follow up my meter got changed in the month of january 2019. For few months it was running properly as per my consideration because in my home there are only 4 fans, 4 led of 7 watts each and a fridge. I was getting units consumption for such equipment was around 150 units per month. It was running properly in the summer season though we were continuously using the fan. But after july month when we reduced the consumption this meter started running so fast and started showing reading more than 250 units per month.
As per my latest the current readings its shows the consumption of 9 to 10 units per day, which is not possible as i have not used any extra equipment. When i approach to msedcl officials in panvel office for complaining even they are also not able to resolve it, mr. Nanote was busy with other work and divert me to ask mr. More for the same. Mr. More suggested me to first make the payment of the bill then apply for the meter check service which again they will charge for rs. 236/-. No one is giving proper solution in the regional office also. Just insisting that you have used that much electricity.

Before 2014, i was getting the monthly consumption between 45 to 50 units for analog meter.in the year 2014 i renew my mother home so after 2014 to 2017 i was having 5 fans, 7 cfls, fridge, tv, geyser and washing machine, for this i was getting the reading around 90 to 100 units per month.in year 2017 when msedcl changed my meter to digital the reading got increased so i stopped using geyser, washing machine and tv for reducing the consumption. Even though this digital meter shows me the higher reading. How is it possible by reducing the consumption this digital meter still shows higher reading? Even if i am goes out and the consumption is nil even though this meter gives the reading.

My current bill amount is rs. 3300 which is not possible that i have used such electricity. I am asked msedc to change this faulty meter and reduce my billing amount to the normal so that i can pay it.

I even have other flats also with consumer no.[protected]. There also i am using 3 led bulb, 3 fan, 1 fridge though i am getting the reading of 169 units per month for such equipment. Do you think whether 169 units really requires for such equipment? Previously in analog meter with same consumption i was getting the reading of 60 to 70 units per month.

This all digital meter are faulty just to give more and more reading. Even the investigators are also from one of them who comes to check the faulty meter. My reading on 04/10/2019 was 2005 units and when i checked my meter reading on 17/10/2019 it was showing me reading of 2108 units which comes around 8 to 10 units per day. I am requesting you to check between the previous analog meter and this new faulty digital meter as which one is giving genuine reading because with the same consumption analog meter was giving 2 to 3 reading per day as the same consumption digital meter is giving 9 to 10 units per day.

This msedcl are also harassing the people a lot. If we fail to pay the bill this msedcl people directly cuts the electricity of the customers and for again starting the service they charging more than rs. 5000/- for that they are not giving any receipt.

This is not the first time i to experience this issue. This msedcl started the new way to make fraud with the customers by charging huge electricity consumption. This issue is not related to single person but all people of maharashtra is facing the same issue and this authority is not listening to any of them. We have to stop this harassment now, for this i am requesting you to take necessary action against their arbitrariness and provide justice to the people.

Thanking you
