Upcoming Electricity Tariff Hike: What You Need to Know

Starting from July 1, the base electricity tariff is set to rise by Rs 5.72 per unit, with fuel charges also increasing by Rs 3.41 per unit.

This hike will affect both protected and non-protected consumers, but the impact will be more severe for non-protected consumers due to additional fixed taxes and surcharges.

Understanding Protected and Non-Protected Consumers

The distinction between protected and non-protected consumers is crucial in determining electricity bills.

Exceeding the protected limit can lead to a significant increase in monthly expenses, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing electricity consumption.

Protected Consumers

Protected consumers are households that consume up to 200 units of electricity per month. This category also includes lifeline customers who consume between 1-100 units per month. Lifeline users enjoy the benefit of no increase in basic tariff and no monthly fuel charges.

Non-Protected Consumers

Non-protected consumers are households that consume more than 200 units of electricity per month. These consumers face higher tariffs and additional charges compared to protected consumers.

Consequences of Exceeding the Protected Limit

If a protected consumer exceeds the limit of 200 units in a month, they will be moved to the non-protected category. The consequences are significant:

• Drastic Increase in Monthly Bills: The shift to the non-protected category will result in a substantial hike in the monthly bill.
• Six-Month Penalty Period: Once moved to the non-protected category, the consumer will remain there for 6 months, even if their consumption falls below 200 units in subsequent months.
• Return to Protected Status: After the six-month penalty period, the consumer can return to the protected category, provided their consumption remains within the 200-unit limit.
