Power Tariff slashed but who will get benefit ?














Delhi Govt. today slashed the Power Tariff. Those consuming upto 200 units will now pay Rs. 2 per unit instead of Rs 4 earlier. Those consuming 201 - 400 units will now pay Rs 2.98 per unit instead of Rs 5.95 earlier. Definitely it's a big boom for those consuming only upto 400 units in a month.

But the minute your consumption crosses the mark of 400 units per month, every benefit will vanish. You will not get any discounts instead you will have to pay the entire bill at the full rates and it seems that the rates for upper slabs have been hiked to compensate the yearly subsidy of 1427 crores. Tariff for 401 to 800 units will be Rs 7.30 per unit which was earlier Rs 6.80 per unit.

Similar is the case on the water front. 20000 KL of water is free but if you cross the limit, you will have to pay the entire bill.The water subsidy will be Rs 250 crores per annum.

Now let's wait n watch, to find, who really gets any real benefit out of the above changes as Delhiites will now have to keep a permanent eye on the meters to remain within limits else be prepared to pay the entire amount even if you touch 401 units or 20001 KL.
