How to calculate domestic charges in Pune

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

• Determine the consumption slab: Identify the total number of units consumed in the billing period.
• Apply tariff rates: Check which tariff slab your consumption falls into (for example, LT-I A, LT-I B, LT-I C). Apply the respective per-unit charges for each slab.
• Calculate energy charges: Multiply the number of units in each slab by the corresponding per-unit rate. Sum up the charges for all slabs.
• Add fixed charges: Include the fixed charges based on the kW demand, if applicable.
• Calculate electricity duty: Multiply the total units consumed by the electricity duty rate (0.06 paise per unit).
• Add customer charges: Include customer charges based on the consumption slab.
• Sum up all charges: Add energy charges, fixed charges, electricity duty, and customer charges to get the total bill amount.
• Check minimum charges: Ensure that the total bill is not less than the minimum charges specified by the electricity board.
• Adjustments and final bill: Apply any adjustments for previous payments or credits. The final amount is your total electricity bill for the period.
