Respected Sir,
I served Govt of Delhi Electricity Utility Companies BSES Rajdhani Power Limited and BSES Yamuna Power Limited as Head of different departments in positions from General manager to Vice President enforcement.
I am the owner of property address C 216, Sector 19 Noida. PVVNL has installed Energy meter no 15569090 at my premises. My Consumer A/c no is [protected] and I paid monthly electricity bill regularly before due date and there is no outstanding amount payable till date.
Current subject issue :
1) I have received current month ( March 2021) electricity bill.
2) I found fictious Arrears Rs 6565.19 entered in "Arrears details Column". I hereby raised objection to illegally showing this in my bill as Arrears. Also, I object your action to add dishonor cheque Rs 1519/- + LPSC Rs 45.91/- in my Current Month Bill as I have never " "Bounced Cheque" events.( Annexure 1)
3) I met the Executive Engineer Mr. Tarun Kumar Pathak, Sector 16A in his office. I submitted a written letter to him Dairy no 2570 dated 10th March 2021. Also, I met the Accountant in Sector 16A Noida. The accountant told me that Electricity bill of Rs 6460/- dated 15th Sept 2012, ICICI bank cheque received by PVVNL got bounced and resulted in non- Payment in 2012. PVVNL has noticed this non-payment in 2021 so raised Rs 6565/- as outstanding amount to be paid in March 2021.
4) As you representing a Licensee, you are fully aware, knowledgeable about electricity Act 2003 and bound to conduct your business lawfully. You raised electricity bill and received my payments by cheque regularly for account no [protected] till March 2021 for almost for 100 months from 2012, your decision and action to enter backdated (15/09/2012) amount of Rs 6565/ as arrears in March 2021 is unilateral, illegal and against the spirit of 56 (2) Electricity Act 2003.
5) As a Financial Head of licensed Utility serving the public, your omission of Section 56(2) of Electricity act is deliberate and seems to be for personal gains, your action may lead to Corruption and forced general public to unwanted inconvenience/ Public nuisance. Personally, you are answerable for deliberate omission of the Electricity act 2003.
My Submission :
1) PVVNL acknowledges that my cheque of ICICI bank for Rs 6460/- dated 15th Sept 2012 is received. Factually my Cheque never presented in Bank by PVVNL account officer. My bank statement of 2012 Confirms that. Your Account officer failed to provide me physical cheque and its number. PVVNL must withheld the salary and recover this money from accountant who was a Employee 2012.
3) My ICICI Bank statements shows " No bounced Cheque events " nor "bounced cheque Charges" penalty in Sept to Dec 2012 clearly confirms that PVVNL did not present cheque in bank to get payment on time in Sept. 2012. My Account has Rs 5, 97, 000/-in Sept 2012.
( Annexure 1)
4) PVVNL did not intimate me about bounced cheque nor issued noticed under section 138 in sept 2012.
5) PVVNL did not mentioned the amount Rs 6460/- as arrears in "Arrears details Column" in Oct 2012 and have not been continuously shown as recoverable as arrears of charges for electricity supplied in A/c [protected] Electricity bill where such dues, Section 56(2) bars the recovery. The amount is time bar and it is no more a legal recoverable amount, illegally entered as Arrears in March 2021 Electricity bill after almost 100 months against the Spirit of Electricity Act 2003.
6) As Financial Head of Licensee, you are responsible for illegally enter time bar amounts as Arrears in March 2021 electricity bill for thousands of PVVNL Consumers in Noida. Your advice to the Licensee to take a chance to recover such old amount by entering as Arrears without the consent o[censored]ttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission is unilateral, unlawful and against the principle of natural justice to PVVNL Consumers.
7) Your action impressed upon the Licensee that recovery of old-time barred dues can be done is deliberate omission of 2003 Electricity Act and knowingly bypass thousands of Court Judgements from High Court to Supreme Court directing the licensee not to recover such time bar amount.
I humbly request you to show respect towards top Supreme Court Judgements and Conduct Licensee's Business lawfully.
My Prayer is to Pl. withdraw the Rs 6565/- as arrears, Dishonor cheque charges 1519/-+LPSC Rs 45/- and remove the " Bounced Cheque " Tag immediately from my A/c no [protected] so that I can continue to pay my current electricity bills by Cheque monthly.
Thanking you,
Your's faithfully.
Hemantkumar Soni.
