Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (Lesa) is updating its billing software to generate bills as per the new tariff rates.
The difference in the bill amount will be charged as arrears from the consumers once the updated software gets functional. The new tariff has come into effect from October 12 in Lucknow.
To increase revenue, new slabs of consumption have been introduced. Up till October 12, domestic consumers using up to 200 units per month were charged Rs 4 per unit but under the new tariff, domestic consumers using up to 150 units per month will be charged Rs 4 per unit.
Domestic consumption had only two slabs earlier, now there are four slabs. Under the old tariff structure for domestic consumption, those consuming between 201 and 500 units per month were charged Rs 4.50 per units and those using more than 500 units were charged Rs 5 per unit.
Now, those consuming 151 to 300 units per month will be charged Rs 4.50 per units, 301 to 500 units per month will be charged Rs 5 and above 500 units per month will be charged Rs 5.50 per unit.
The new slabs have been introduced for commercial consumption as well. Earlier, there were only two slabs of consumption for commercial category. Consumers using up to 300 units per month were to pay Rs 6 per unit and those using more than 300 units per month were charged Rs 6.50 per unit.
