[Resolved]  Tamilnadu Electricity Board (TNEB) — Wrong / Excess Billing

Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

We had gone outstation for the whole of February and a few days in March also. So my residence at No. 2, G-3, Patel Street, Kodambakkam, Chennai-24 was locked and all electrical appliances (including fridge) had been switched off. Naturally, the electrical unit merter was not running and the EB official who came for reading consumption on[protected] had ERRONEOUSLY assumed that the meter was not working, which is NOT true. In fact, the meter reading that day was 25950 (as recorded by the official) which is 80 units more than the previous reading of 25870 taken on[protected]. I checked today and the meter is RUNNING. I find that the current consumption from[protected] to 01-3-201`4 is wrongly shown as 170 units, instead of just 80 units and so I have been excess billed for Rs. 275. Please see the attachment for proof. I have highlighted the defective entries. I have paid Rs. 275/- anyway today (on[protected] through netbanking, but I request you to rectify the excess billing and not penalise me again due to the peculiar slab system in vogue.
