Power corp rectifies inflated bill


Ludhiana September 18
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) today rectified the electricity bill of Alice Guram, a resident of Pink Flats, Rajguru Nagar, here. After rectification, the bill has now come down to Rs 14,651 as against Rs 11,11,440 earlier.
PSPCL had served the bill of Rs 11.11 lakh to the Guram family on Sunday. Shocked at the whopping bill, Guram had highlighted the issue in the media, besides urging PSPCL to rectify the same.
KL Sharma, Chief Engineer, PSPCL (Central), said: "There was a technical fault in the electricity meter, which had resulted in an inflated bill. Now, we have rectified the same on the basis of average of their previous year's bill. We will examine the meter to find the fault". "Officials who came to deliver the rectified bill, appreciated that we had highlighted the issue and hoped that other consumers will also come forward to report such discrepancies,” Guram said.
