Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — BOAB Audit Average Shortfall

Dear Sir

I am the holder of consumer number [protected] of my agricultural land near Elumalai in Madurai District. I was served a letter by the AE in the month of July 2023 stating that I need to pay an amount of Rs. 73907 on account of BOAB Audit average shortfall for the period Oct 2017 to Feb 2023. I do not understand why is that the letter is served after 6 years[protected]. Had it been sent in the same year (ie 2017) or the succeeding year, the amount would not have been this high.

I am currently unable to afford such a huge amount. Requesting your assistance in understanding the delay and its reason and the possible alternatives to resolve the issue.
