Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — Flat vacant, no power consumption but charged heavily in lockdown period

Dear Sir / Madam,

My Flat in SIS Marakesh, Urapakkam in locked from the start of COVID-19 Lockdown from end of March 2020 and no power is consumed.

But in February and April, we were charged Rs 3562 and was paid.

But in June, I received intimation that meter is defective, changed to new one and charged with Rs 7654

Since we are not in the flat for the last three months, there is no power consumption and due to lockdown we were unable to intimate in writing the meter fault. Actually we should be charged bare minimum.

Even now you can check in my flat EB meter, it will be zero consumption, hence please revise the bill to the bare minimum and update in EB payment portal since I am paying online only.
