Electricity Tariff for Common Meter of Society at LT supply

[shivom prakash]

Dear Friends,

1.There have been lot of posts on tariff slab for common meter of societies at LT supply. I would like to clarify that the common meter of CGHS at LT supply falls under domestic category 1.1 of DERC schedule and has to be charged as per tariff slab ie 0 to 200, 400,800, etc and not at the old highest slab of 7/- for entire consumption.There is no category as Stair Case in DERC tariff schedule, though mentioned in bill by BSES. 

2. However except  few of the societies, almost all are being billed at the highest slab for entire units. One of the society, namely Naval Tech Offrs CGHS of Sec-22 Dwarka had complained against this in the BSES consumer Forum. The forum in their order of 28th Mar 2014 have given a specific decision against their inflated billing and even extended it to all societies. Refer p-13 of the order attached herewith.(The order is not applicable to common meter at HT /11 KV supply)

3. Despite this specific order applicable to all societies, BSES has still not implemented it neither in case of NTO CGHS nor any other CGHS, except few isolated cases and trying to get it stayed /reversed.

4. In view of above, each society may like to vigorously pursue with BSES for implementing this order of the Forum for billing as per different slab tariff, as with further increase in highest slab upto 8.75/- per unit beyond 1200 units, it would result in savings/excess payment of atleast 2665/- pm for each society. 

5. Societies may also like to take up this case of inflated billing with news media or other suitable Forums. Any clarifications are welcome.

Regards,

Shiv Om

Dear friends,

1. Pl refer to the earlier mails in this regard.

2. BSES is still charging most of the societies for their common  meter elect bill at LT supply at highest slab, instead of at different slab rates as per DERC rule. By this trick, they are charging each society at least Rs 2665/- pm.

3. We intend to take up a case with Delhi Govt and DERC against this malpractice. Mgt/Reps of each socity are requested to kindly check up their society bills for the last few months and inform indicating name of society, sector and the CA no of bill, if they are being billed at slab rate or highest slab. The info may be submitted latest by 30th Sep 14.

Regards,

Shiv Om

This was already sent to all. However copy again attached for ready ref.

Particular attention of all is drawn to para 11 on last page of the order where it has been made applicable to all CGHS similarly placed.

Thanks Mr. Shiv Om.  Great achievement and very useful order.  Every society should insisted on its implementation.  We may co-ordinate as an umbrella body but for this, it will be better if more and more Societies take membership of the DF.

Hi,

After going through the complete details. I would recommend Dwarka Forum to file a case in High Court on these lines :-

(a)  Separate tariff for single point distribution is not justified.

(b) Recommendation is that CGHS customer should be charged same as any other domestic customer who is not staying in CGHS. In addition, there should be 15 % concession on the complete bill as per MOU with earlier DESU, since the complete infrastructure is being maintained by RWA.

(c) Now. the big question is since it is single meter, how CGHS to be billed. My suggestion is :-

EXAMPLE :-

        (i) No. of houses in society = 150

        (ii) Total units consumed in one month by complete society = 67500

        (iii) 150 X 200 ( since there is a slab for 1-200 units at his rate) = 30000 X Rs 4.95 

        (iv) 150 X 200 ( since there is a slab for 201-400 units at his rate) = 30000 X   Rs  5.95

        (v)   150 X 50  ( since there is a slab for 401-800 units at this rate = 7500    X   Rs 7.30

        (vi)   Then, on total bill 15 % discount to be given as per MOU.

In my opinion, this is how we should suggest CGHS to be billed and incase of any subsidy by government it should be passed on to the society. 

The other option given for individuals to shift to separate meters at his stage is not practical as BSES will refuse it at one pretext or other. And societies will not be in a position to provide space to BSES to set up their infrastructure. 

NO separate tariff or meter is required by common facilities, since it is not done for other domestic consumers.

This will ease burden on societies and further consumer billing can be done easily as per consumption of individual customers. Secondly, not all houses must be occupied in society and it will help society to increase the number of units at lower rate.

There is no rationale in billing CGHS at higher rate as the slab tariff is applicable to domestic consumers staying in GK, Safdarjung enclave, Lutyens delhi etc. So, why middle class CGHS customers to be billed at higher rate. NO SEPARATE TARIFF IS REQUIRED FOR 11 KV SINGLE POINT DISTRIBUTION. Only 15 % should be given for maintenance of transformer, further distribution, indl billing etc.

Now, electricity tariff is pinching customers and there has to be a concerted effort from DF side as is done in water issue.

Arvind
