- Energy charge. Units × the rate of the slab your month falls in. A non-protected consumer pays that rate on every unit, not only the units above the boundary.
- Fixed charge. Your sanctioned load in kW × the fixed charge for that slab.
- Adjustments. The monthly fuel charges adjustment and the quarterly adjustment, both per unit.
- Financing cost surcharge. Rs 3.23 per unit.
- Electricity duty. 1.5% of the energy charge and adjustments.
- GST. 18% of the energy charge, adjustments, surcharge and duty.
- TV fee. Rs 35.
The calculator does not include municipal charges, the income tax withheld from non-filers on large bills, or late payment surcharges. Protected consumers, whose six-month average is 200 units or less, pay lower rates than shown here.
Watch the slab boundary. Because the whole month is repriced, one extra unit at a boundary can add more than a thousand rupees. The calculator warns you when you are within 15 units of the next slab.
