Total energy charge during a month = (a) + (b) + (c)

Note:— Detailed billing procedure for ToD tariff for LT-IV Industrial, HT and EHT consumers is enclosed as Annexure-E.

Other Conditions:

•

Ruling demand/energy charges shall be the normal period demand/energy charges as per notified tariff.

ANNEXURE—E

Billing Procedures for ToD tariff for LT -IV Industrial, HT & EHT consumers.

1. Demand Charges (DC)

(i)

The recorded maximum demand during normal time zone (T1) from 6.00 hrs. to 18.00 hrs. = RMD1

(ii)

The recorded maximum demand during peak time (T2) from 18.00 hrs. to 22.00 hrs. = RMD2

(iii)

The recorded maximum demand during off- peak time (T3) from 22.00 hrs. to 6.00 hrs. = RMD3

(iv)

Recorded Maximum demand during a billing period,

RMD= RMD1, RMD2 or RMD3 whichever is higher.

(v)

Other Conditions

•

The tariff shall be effective from 1-5-2013.

•

Consumers who opt for maximum demand based tariff have to install ToD compliant meters at their cost. Meters

connected load.

•

The consumers who opt for maximum demand based tariff shall declare the contract demand in kVA by executing

a supplementary agreement showing the contract demand and details of connected load in their premises.

•

The consumers who opt for the new system may be allowed to revise upwards or downwards the declared

contract demand within six months from the date of option without any conditions or charges. After this, the

usual terms and conditions shall be applicable for changing contract demand.

•

The Billing demand shall be the recorded maximum demand or 75% of the contract demand which ever is higher.

In case the billing demand exceeds the contract demand, excess demand shall be charged 50% extra.

•

The above scheme (optional demand based tariff) shall be effective till ToD tariff is made compulsory.
