Tneb late payment charges

Tamilselvan R Gounder (Querist) 26 September 2023 This query is : Resolved
Hello,
I did one day late payment in TNEB. They are given two bills.
1. Current Consumption(CC Charge) and Belated Payment Surcharge (BPSC)
2. Reliability Charges (RC) with GST as penalty.
I'm doubted on second bill, Is it applicable for late payments? As my understanding RC is for HT (High Tension) consumers only. How they consider/classify the late payment consumers are coming under HT Consumer. Is it having prima facie to file in consumer body. please clarify.

Quick Summary

A TNEB customer was surprised by additional charges, including Reliability Charges (RC) with GST, after a one-day late payment. They question if RC applies to late payments and if they are being wrongly classified as a High Tension consumer. Advice suggests clarifying with the EB department, potentially using an RTI request for detailed explanations, and paying bills on time to avoid future issues or claim refunds if charges are incorrect.

You can clarify from the EB department about this, if you don't get any clarification, you can issue a letter demanding explanation of this breakup by providing the details service connections but before that you may pay all the bills on time and then can ask for refund if the charges are in excess

I think TNEB is entitled to charge a 1.5% late fee or penalty monthly on the total bill amount as per Clause 5(4) of the Commissions' Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code, 2004. However, you may obtain the same information from the EB via RTI.

Contact concerned department, it is not a legal query for consideration and obligation of experts on this platform where respondents are scattered all over India (if not world-wide).

have you contacted TNEB to correction of bill.

You may obtain the relevant information from TNEB under RTI and and based on the information may decide further course of action.
