Dear Sir,
Reg: Information under RTI.
There are several co-operative housing societies in Delhi which have single point of supply, and societies in turn supply power to residents through sub-meters. Now for the operational convenience, efficiency, internal conflict & other reasons many of them wish to convert it to multi point supply connection directly in the name of individual consumers.
Citing tariff order dated 23 Jul 2014 wherein DERC clarified discoms to provide individual connection to the consumers residing in CGHS if they so desire, BSES had submitted a request dated 31 Oct 2014 to approve the operational requirement for such conversion. It seems that this request is suo-motto and discoms still can go ahead with conversion pending consideration/approval of request by DERC
In this back ground please provide following information:
A.
(i) Whether BSES can go ahead with conversion of ‘single point delivery’ to ‘multi point delivery’ pending disposal of its request dated 31 Oct 2014 with DERC?
(ii) The detailed reasons, facts and file movement for keeping disposal of request of BSES on hold for such a long time?
B. In response to an earlier RTI, DERC had sent a reply containing photocopy of application of BSES, in total, consisting of 17 pages printed one side, we appreciate the stance of commission’s attempt to provide all papers covering back ground of case. However, as per Office Memorandum No. 25(6)/E. Coor-2014 dated 22 Aug 2014 issued by Department of Expenditure, M/o Finance, GOI all such printing is to be done on both side of paper to avoid extra cost & save environment. Single side printing unnecessarily consumes double quantum of paper. Please inform the reasons & facts for not adhering to this OM of GOI by DERC which is contributing to already deteriorating environment?
Fee is being paid vide IPO no. 16F 273562 enclosed. The name of payee has been left blank please fill.
Thanks.

Dear Sir,
Reg: First Appeal.
We had wide our letter no. No. SKG/DERC/001 dated 09 Jun 2015 sought information about following
“There are several co-operative housing societies in Delhi which have single point of supply, and societies in turn supply power to residents through sub-meters. Now for the operational convenience, efficiency & other reasons many of them wish to convert it to multi point supply connection directly in the name of individual consumers. It is understood that discoms don’t have any standard guidelines or rules for such conversions; and for the purpose they have forwarded the matter, around six months back, to DERC for approving policy guidelines for such conversion. On every follow up with discom they are replying that file is with DERC, this seems to be in-ordinate delay holding back decision of co-operative societies.
In this back ground please inform:
(i) Whether DERC has received any such matter for consideration forwarded by discoms? If yes, when?
(ii) Is there any specific reason for delay in processing this file? If yes, the reason may please be informed?
(iii) Where it is stuck right now?
(iv) How much time is likely for its clearance?
In response DERC only replied that matter is
under consideration. Given the extra ordinary delay on the part of DERC on this
issue, we again filed an RTI wide letter no. SKG/DERC/002 dated 8 Aug 2015 to seek
following information:
“There are several co-operative housing societies in Delhi which have single point of supply, and societies in turn supply power to residents through sub-meters. Now for the operational convenience, efficiency, internal conflict & other reasons many of them wish to convert it to multi point supply connection directly in the name of individual consumers

(ii) The detailed reasons, facts and file movement for keeping disposal of request of BSES on hold for such a long time?
IN response DERC wide letter no. F.935)/DERC/RTI-2193/2015-16/1662 dt 7 Sep 15 replied that
Point A (i) & (ii) – matter is under consideration
Grounds of Appeal: Point A (i) & (ii) The point is we all know that this application of BSES is pending for very long period with DERC and is kept on hold as the commission is busy in other activities. The reply is not as per the questions we have asked for. Our specific point is about jurisdiction of DERC over this issue. Whether BSES actually need any approval from DERC? – No information provided. Neither details of any file, reasons or facts for delay have been provided. Just saying that matter is under consideration actually creates a doubt. What for this file is languishing with commission since last Oct and with which officer? Therefore the single reply provided for both the points is totally deficient, incomplete and not to the point.
Appeal: PIO be directed to instantly provide specific, to the point information without resorting to tactics to avoid supply of information.
Thanks

On being dissatisfied an appeal was preferred before I Appellate authority. In response, vide letter no. Appeal 257/2032 dated 21 Oct 2015 PIO was directed to supply the required information within 21 days. Now again PIO vide letter no. 3115 dared 9 Nov 2015 has informed that commission has already made provision for availing subsidy applicable, if any as per order of GNCTD by the individual members of the Group Housing Society in the tariff order for FY 2015-16 and further tariff for GHS has been rationalized in this tariff order for FY 2015-16. Further, it was informed that the applicant may interact with the tariff and Engineering Division regarding modified tariff provision and for any other issues that needs to be further addressed. In view of above, a meeting may be arranged in the commission with the concerned divisions for further information regarding the issue as per suitable date & time. You may contact undersigned as per below details of the same Email id: d...@derc.bov.in Contact No. 011-26673610.
Grounds of Appeal: We have sought very simple & specific information about conversion of single point to multi point connection but PIO is avoiding the question for reasons best known to him. Now six months have passed since we first filed RTI application but DERC is failing to provide this simple piece of information – Why? Surprisingly PIO is ready to meet but don’t want to supply information – why DERC is holding up the proposal sent by BSES for past more than one year? Whether DERC is actually supposed to approve this proposal?
Appeal: PIO be directed to instantly provide specific and to the point information without any further delay.

Dear Sir,
Reg: Appeal under RTI.
Ref: F.9(35)/DERC/RTI-2193/2015-16/Appeal No. 257/3552 dated 5 Jan 2016.
It is extremely unfortunate that surprising that our specific request to provide a factual information under RTI is being avoided constantly on unfounded and frivolous grounds in a joint effort by PIO & FAA.
We have never sought any appointment with PIO as referred in your disposal application. We have simply sought information who is the officer sitting on the file sent by BSES in Oct 2014 to approve the operational requirement to convert single point to multi point? What is the need to DERC to consider this application? Is it within the jurisdiction of DERC at all to keep on hold this application for such a long period of time?
We are constraint to write that PIO & FAA seems to be part of one party only. The first RTI in this regard was filed by us on 9 Jun 2015 and now even after 7 months this simple and factual information is not provided?
Earlier PIO also had offered a personal hearing and now you have also sought a personal hearing citing that applicant wants it – where we have sought personal hearing? What is the deriving factor for calling us in your office is not understood? Why one simple factual information cannot be provided by DERC in seven months time?
You have prima facie erred on facts while disposing this first appeal quoting that a personal hearing as sought by applicant is being fixed on 15 Jan 2016 at 3.00pm to discuss the issue in detail.
Please note that in case information is not provided in next seven days complaint with next higher authorities and CIC would be filed with a request for compensation, service break & disciplinary action against PIO & FAA.
Regards.
