How to calculate domestic charges in Haryana

To calculate domestic electricity charges in Haryana, follow these steps:

1. Determine consumption slab:

• Identify the total number of units consumed in the billing period.

2. Apply tariff rates:

• Check which tariff slab your consumption falls into (e.g., LT-I A, LT-I B, LT-I C).

• Apply the respective per-unit charges for each slab.

3. Calculate energy charges:

• Multiply the number of units in each slab by the corresponding per-unit rate.

• Sum up the charges for all slabs.

4. Add fixed charges:

• Include the fixed charges based on the kW demand, if applicable.

5. Calculate electricity duty:

• Multiply the total units consumed by the electricity duty rate (0.06 paise per unit).

6. Add customer charges:

• Include customer charges based on the consumption slab.

7. Sum up all charges:

• Add energy charges, fixed charges, electricity duty, and customer charges to get the total bill amount.

8. Check minimum charges:

• Ensure the total bill is not less than the minimum charges specified by the electricity board.

9. Adjustments and final bill:

• Apply any adjustments for previous payments or credits.

• The final amount is your total electricity bill for the period.

10. Example calculation:

• Consumption: 450 units

• Energy Charges:

• First 200 units: 200 * Rs. 5.1 = Rs. 1020

• Next 100 units: 100 * Rs. 7.7 = Rs. 770

• Next 150 units: 150 * Rs. 9 = Rs. 1350

• Total Energy Charges: Rs. 1020 + Rs. 770 + Rs. 1350 = Rs. 3140

• Electricity Duty: 450 * Rs. 0.06 = Rs. 27

• Customer Charges: Rs. 160 (for above 800 units)

• Fixed Charges: Rs. 10 (assuming 1 kW demand)

• Total Bill: Rs. 3140 (energy) + Rs. 27 (duty) + Rs. 160 (customer) + Rs. 10 (fixed) = Rs. 3337.

Conclusion

Haryana's power sector has undergone significant reforms since the Haryana Electricity Reform Act of 1997. The state unbundled its electricity board into four corporations: HPGCL for generation, HVPNL for transmission, and UHBVNL and DHBVNL for distribution in northern and southern regions, respectively.

The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) regulates these entities, ensuring efficient power supply and consumer protection. For bill payments, consumers can use various options, including online platforms like Bajaj Pay, which offer convenient and secure payment methods. These reforms aim to enhance power sector viability and consumer satisfaction.
