The usual duration for every meter reading was supposed to be 2 months/60 days, Even a single day delay duration might result in a big difference in the amount to be paid especially during the summer season.
Last Meter Reading date: 06/04/22, Unit : 18740
Current Month Reading date: 11/06/22, Unit : 19640
[protected] = 900, Total Bill Value: 4420 Rs
Instead of eight weeks, the total duration is 9 weeks now,
Considering a weekly average = 900 / 9 weeks = 100 unit per week
So removing the additional 1 week - the meter reading would have costed 3710 Rs for 800 units. [Approximately 700 Rs extra]
The worst case scenario is for those to whom the reading had crossed above 500 units during this last weeks in our apartment/community.
Ex: 510 units cost = 1840 Rs, whereas 450 unit might have costed only 950 Rs, nearly double the bill rate just because the EB reading was taken a week delayed, and whose fault is that. Why people should pay for the official mistake?
