Tata Power’s Delhi Distribution (TPDDL) has to pay penalty of Rs 25,000 for committing a number of violations including wrong assessment of a consumer’s electricity bill and snapping of supply. A Delhi resident, Anita Goel filed petition against TPDDL, in response to which Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has imposed this penalty on TPDDL.
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.
