Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — Penalty charged for one day delay

Address:

5VH7+Q8Q, Thilagar Nagar, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu 628502

Sub: Refund of Penalty paid for one day late payment of EB Charge Ref: EB Connection held in the name of my father A.Marimuthu, Consumer No: [protected]. I would like to bring to your kind consideration the following facts : For the above connection, the EB due date is 09th May 2023 and I have paid the EB consumption amount on 10th May 2023, and the details are as follows : EB Charge : Rs.90.00 Plus Late Fee Rs.142.00 Total Rs.232.00 Ref No.PGNSBI15885125. From the above you will observe that I have paid a late fee of Rs.142.00 for the total amount of Rs.60/-, For one day delay I feel a penalty of Rs.142/- is very much on the higher side. On verifying the TNEB website, the penalty tariff detail was not available. Middle class people like me will not have have sufficient money to pay and are totally dependent on the salary, every month. Please take this into consideration on humanitarian grounds and reverse the penalty paid by me. Thanking you,
