[Resolved]  West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company [WBSEDCL] — Tenant refusing to pay unpaid bill. Corruption & delay in cutting connection so the huge unpaid bill has accumulated

Address: Burdwan, West Bengal

Respected Sir, NABIN CH, MAJI, Consumer Id :[protected] Installation No : 3339545 I have a house near Chitra Cinema, Burnpur, which I have given on rent to one Mr. Tapan Rai. I am staying in Kolkata. But he is refusing to pay last one year’s electricity bill for the electricity he has already consumed. This has resulted in a big pending unpaid bill amount of over INR 13, 000 (Thirteen thousand rupees) which is growing day-by-day as WBSEDCL is adding up late fines and penalties for the unpaid bill. I suspect corruption, in connivance with my tenant, of the persons in WBSEDCL authorized to check meter reading and generate bill and those responsible to cut the electricity connection if the bills are unpaid. Since, if they had done their jobs properly, they should have disconnected the electricity connection to the house long before the bill added up to such a large amount. Maybe the tenant has bribed the person responsible to cut the electricity connection if the bills are unpaid, to delay his job; and that is how such a huge unpaid bill has accumulated. Please kindly guide me on how to get redressed for this injustice committed by my tenant. Since I am staying in Kolkata, I am unable to peruse the matter regularly with intensity, and also the tenant is not receiving my phone calls.
