Problem of faulty power bills continue

MUMBAI: The problem of inflated and faulty power bills continues in the island city, said BEST committee member Ravi Raja.

He pointed out that consumers were still receiving hefty power bills, which were incorrect and they had to run pillar to post to get the grievances redressed.

"This is plain harassment of consumers. The BEST administration should ensure that the billing is correct and consumers don't have to go to ward offices with complaints,'' he stated.

He further said that consumers were upset over the Transport Department Loss Recovery (TDLR) charges mentioned in the power bills.

"Why should our consumers pay for the transport department losses. Besides, now they are being made to pay tax on this TDLR,'' he pointed out. This issue was also raised by him at the recent committee meeting.

A senior BEST official said that the TDLR was being levied as per directives of the MERC.

"Since we have a cross-subsidy, we are recovering the transport wing losses from the electricity wing,'' he stated. Raja said that electricity dues to the tune of over Rs 75 crore, which includes Rs 57 crore from consumers in island city, were pending and the electricity wing should expedite the recovery. Shiv Sena member Sunil Ganacharya said that a special team should be set up and given a deadline to recover all dues.
