New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI) Delhi's power regulator DERC has
imposed a penalty of Rs 25,000 on Tata Power Delhi
Distribution Ltd (TPDDL) for committing a number of violations
including wrong assessment of a consumer's electricity bill
and snapping of supply.
The order by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission came
in response to a petition filed against TPDDL by Anita Goel, a
resident of Sector-2 of Rohini.
When asked, a TPDDL official said the company would fully
comply with the DERC order.
In the order, the DERC said the connection to the
consumer was issued for non-domestic purposes but the same was
billed by TPDDL for domestic tariff by "mistake". The company
later revised the bill based on commercial tariff instead of
domestic rates which was not paid by the consumer.
The company had issued a disconnection notice to the
consumer for defaulting in making the payment of Rs 57,373 on
November 24, 2010. The revised demand was raised pursuant to
revision of the tariff category from domestic to non-domestic.
Upset over the disconnection notice, the consumer had
then approached the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum (CGRF)
which had ordered restoration of the power supply.
