Tamilnadu Electricity Board (TNEB) — New digital meter replacement

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Sir, Few days before we had TNEB employees coming to our house to replace our old meter, but while checking they informed us that the old meter is having a fault as it had electric leak (shock when they touched the old meter). They told us that we have to pay Rs 2500 for replacing this old meter with their new digital meter. Please clarify if I have to pay Rs 2500 to get the same. I reside in Kumaran colony, Vadapalani, Chennai
