In other countries you pay for what you use on the meter if don’t use any electricity you pay nothing (no line rental,no meter chargers)
Regards Bally
Dear Bally,
DeleteThe charges are mixture of many charges but main is fixed charges for connected load for which system has been installed and these charges is required to be paid whether any units has been used or not .Meter rent is very less.
If you reduce you load then monthly charges will be reduced proportionately.
