Punjab State Power Corporation [PSPCL] — faulty meter replaced but bill still has a huge arrear

Address: Pathankot, Punjab, 145001

Hello sir,

I am a resident of pathankot and i have a meter ac no: [protected]. Historically my electricity consumption ranged at about rs per month.in the month of june, when the electricity operator came to collect the reading he mentioned that there was some fault with the meter. Post that we raised a complaint and the faulty meter was replaced (As it was counting units even when main power line was switched off).
For july, we did not receive any electricity bill but in the next month (August) we got a bill of rs 55, 650. We reached out to the electricity department and they said that this would take some time as we would need to check at records and get the meter tested.
It is september now and the bill amount is rs. 70000. I am worried and we don't really understand what to do.

Could you please help us with the same?
