Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — Wrong calculations of the consumption charge for May,21

Address:

Chennai

It seems TNEB has indulged in unfair practices to garner more revenues from the day the new Govt.took over the reins of Tamilnadu.Usually, there should be a gap of exactly 2 months between previous and succeeding meter reading and calculation of the bill amount, by the assessor.But, the Tangedco has deliberately violated this practice in the name of lockdown and has uploaded abnormal charges for May, 21 without the actual meter reading done, it seems.The amount of the charges is tactfully and conveniently calculated on a convenient date beyond the usual gap of 60 days.Because of this, the slab changes and the tariff changes and as a result, the bill amount surges beyond our imagination.This is a wilful act by TNEB, it seems. Moreover, meter reading was done within the stipulated time and the previous regime did not indulge in any unfair modes to garner more revenues.Also, there was no current failure absolutely.TNEB was ably managed by the AIADMK Govt.The new minister concerned should look into the matter and correct the over-billing with justifiable amount.Corruption will raise its ugly head in TNEB, after 10 years, I fear.Tangedco needs a very efficient minister to manage its affairs without giving any room to corruption.Tangedco has given 2 options for application of charges for May, 21 namely
1) either the amount of the bill of Mar, 20 OR
2) the bill amount for Mar, 21. which ever is less.
Yet, they have ignored these 2 options, conveniently, it seems.
