SECTION V
TARIFFS

INSTRUCTION NO. 5.1

Charges for supply:


Supply of electric energy to the various categories of consumers
is chargeable at the relevant schedule of tariff for supply of Energy as
approved by the HERC from time to time. The particular schedule,
which will be applicable for a new consumer, is usually determined
before the connection is given, on the basis of usage of supply and
availability clause of the schedule of tariff for supply of energy and it is
intimated to the prospective consumer at the time of issue of Demand
Notice. As such the JE concerned, while verifying the connected load
for purpose of preparation of estimate for service line or at the time of
verification of the test report should check up and ensure the usage of
supply so as to determine the applicability of correct schedule of tariff.
However, such checking carried out by the Nigams employees before
the release of connection shall not entitle the consumer to use supply
for purpose other than the purpose for which connection was availed
and the use of supply for a purpose other than a purpose for which a
different schedule of tariff is applicable shall constitute un-authorised
use of supply and shall be dealt with accordingly.
2. Where the schedule of tariff is determined on the basis of
connected load (e.g. L.T. Industrial & H.T. industrial) the fraction of kW
should be taken as one kilowatt for all intents and purposes.
2. Explanation of Tariff.
The tariff rate in the case of Industrial consumer should be
based on the total Industrial and general connected load. Further,
fraction of kilowatt should be taken as one kilowatt for all categories of
consumers except domestic supply. In the case of domestic supply the
fraction below and upto half kilowatt should be taken as half-kilowatt
and fraction above half kilowatt should be taken as one kilowatt.

a. The monthly minimum charges (excluding service
charges) shall be Rs. 120 per kW or part thereof for the
connected load upto 20 kW and Rs. 150/- per kW or part
thereof for the connected load exceeding 20 kW.
b. The industrial consumers seeking temporary
disconnection of supply shall submit their written
requests giving therein specific reasons for the same to
SDO (OP)concerned at least one month in advance of
the date from which the disconnection is being sought.
Such requests for a maximum period of six months shall
be examined and decided by concerned Executive
Engineer keeping in view the merits
of each case. The request for temporary disconnection
beyond a period of six months shall be referred by
respective SEs
to concerned Chief Engineer (OP) for decision. While
considering such requests for temporary disconnections,
the following guidelines are to be kept in view: -
i) The consumer is not a defaulter of Nigams dues,
whether disputed or undisputed.
ii) The consumers seeking temporary disconnection under
Force Majeure Clause are not required to submit their
requests one month in advance as stipulated under
above paragraph.
iii) The force Majeure Conditions for the purpose of this
clause will include only the following: -
a) Acts of God e.g. floods, Tempests, Earthquakes,
Lightning.
b) Acts of Civil and Military Authorities e.g. Wars,
Mutiny, Civil commotion/disturbances, Riots.
c) Fires, Strikes, Lockouts.
Note : The disputes between partners, shortage of funds and raw
materials etc. will not be considered as Force Majeure
reasons under this clause.
iv) The disconnections sought under Force Majeure reasons
must be supported by documentary evidence issued by
concerned Civil Authorities.
v) The Temporary Disconnection Order (T.D.C.O.) under
6
Force Majeure reasons can be allowed even beyond a
continuous period of 12 months by CE (OP) concerned.
The CE (OP) will however, submit periodical report after
every six months relating to temporary disconnections
allowed by him to the Chief Engineer/Commercial of the
Nigam.
vi) The requests for further-extension of temporary
disconnection who have been allowed TDCO for a period
upto 12 months shall be considered only after a minimum
period of six months from the date upto which the last
disconnection was allowed. For example in case a
consumer seeks temporary disconnection for 12
months and the same is approved from 01.01.2005 to
31.12.2005 and if he applies for further extension the
same will not be allowed before 1st July, 2006. During
the intervening period i.e. for the period 1st January 2006
to 30th June 2006, he will be billed on normal tariff as if
there were no temporary disconnection.
vii) The industries, which are allowed temporary disconnection, will
pay minimum charges for one month following the month in
which temporary disconnection has been allowed and no MMC
will be levied thereafter. Since MMC will be charged for the first
month of the TDCO, the consumer will be entitled for
consuming electricity equivalent to MMC in that billing month.
viii) Separate NDS connection
a) The existing or new LT industrial consumers can seek a
separate single phase NDS connection upto a load 5 kW
on the same premises having regular industrial
connection for the purpose of meeting the requirement of
lighting etc. for offices, security, elevators, pumps etc.
The consumer through this connection shall not perform
any industrial activity even during temporary
disconnection period of their regular industrial
connection.
b) This connection would be treated as a separate and
distinct NDS connection altogether from the regular
industrial connection and will be considered as a new
connection.
c) This connection will be available to the consumer even
during the temporary disconnections of industrial
connections.
d) The wiring and the connected load for this NDS
connection will be physically & distinctly separated from
the wiring of the regular industrial connection at all times
7
& shall be connected to only lighting loads.
e) The shifting of load from this NDS connection to the
regular industrial connection will be treated as an act of
un-authorized use of electricity and will be treated as per
applicable instruction /policy of the Nigam.
f) The Location of the metering arrangement for this NDS
connection will be separate from the metering
arrangement of their industrial connection and will not be
tapped from the existing LT Industrial connection.
With the provision of a separate connection in the
NDS category for factory lighting purposes, the
facility to consume upto 5% of the monthly average
consumption of preceding 6 months for factory
lighting is not available to the consumer. And while
effecting the TDCO of the LT industrial consumer the
same shall be effected by disconnecting / removing
of all 3 phases.
(ix) In few cases, Nigam is not in a position to release separate
NDS connection as above due to non-availability of LT lines
within a radius of 300 meters. In such cases during the period
of temporary disconnection beyond one month, the
consumption of industry for repair work and factory lighting, if
any, upto 5% of the monthly average consumption of preceding
six months (or less, if 6 month consumption is not available) will
be charged at 200% of the normal tariff. In case of excess
consumption than the said limit of 5%, the temporary
disconnection facility shall be considered to have been
withdrawn from that month and the consumer shall be billed on
normal tariff as if there were no temporary disconnection.
(vii) Capacitor Surcharge
a. All the consumers are required to install shunt capacitors
of adequate rating and of ISI mark manufactured by the
standard firms approved by the Licensee. No new
connection shall be released without installation of such
shunt capacitors. Rating of LT shunt capacitors required
to be installed on various sizes of motors shall be as
under :-
Sr. Rating of KVAR rating of LT capacitors for
No. motors various R.P.M. of the Motors.

b. In case of non-compliance, a surcharge of 10% of SOP
amount shall be levied and it shall continue to be levied
till the prescribed capacity of shunt capacitors are
installed by the consumers. The intimation of installation
of shunt capacitors shall be required to be given by the
consumer through the submission of Test report, which
would be duly verified and accepted by the SDO
concerned.
(viii) Excess connected load Surcharge.
If the connected load of a consumer exceeds the sanctioned
load, the excess load shall be treated as unauthorized load.
Wherever use of unauthorized load if detected by the Nigam,
the excess load shall be charged at the rate of Rs. 70/- per kW
per month for the preceding six months and onwards till
complete papers along with Advance Consumption Deposit are
submitted for regularizing such extension in connected load. In
addition, MMC for the preceding six months and onwards shall
be applied to the original sanctioned load plus the excess load
till complete papers along with Advance Consumption Deposit
are submitted for regularising such extension in connected load.
Where the MDI meters have been installed the charges shall be
levied from the month in which the excess load is recorded and
shall be continued to be charged till the excess connected load
is got regularized or the intimation regarding removal through
test report is submitted.
Where category is changed i.e. load is found above 70 kW.
If there is a change of category from LT to HT due to
unauthorized extension in load recorded by the Maximum
demand indicator or as per physical checking of the inspecting
officer, the consumer shall be charged HT tariff for that month
with LT Surcharge @ 25% along with penalty for unauthorized
load @ Rs. 70/- per kW. The MMC shall also be worked out on
the extended load. In future, the consumer shall be treated as a
9
HT industrial Consumer having supply on LT with provisional
contract demand as 70 kW and shall be charged/ billed
accordingly till he shifts to HT or submits written intimation
(through test report) of having disconnected such unauthorized
extended load. A notice to this effect shall also be issued to the
consumer by the concerned SDO immediately after the load is
found exceeded beyond 70 kW.
(ix) Payment.
In the event of the monthly bill not being paid in full within the
time specified in the bill, a surcharge of 2% shall be levied on
the unpaid amount of the bill for each 30 days successive
period or part thereof until the amount is paid in full.
(x) Single Point Delivery.
The above tariff is based on the supply being given through a
single delivery and metering point and at a single voltage.
Supply at other points or at other voltages shall be separately
metered and billed.

force Majeure reasons can be allowed even beyond a
continuous period of 12 months by CE (OP) concerned.
The CE (OP) will, however, submit periodical report after
every six months relating to temporary disconnections
allowed by him to the Chief Engineer/Commercial of the
Nigam.
vi) The requests for further extension of temporary
disconnection who have been allowed T.D.C.O. for a
period up to 12 months shall be considered only after a
12
minimum period of six months from the date upto which
the last disconnection was allowed, for example in case a
consumer seeks temporary disconnection for 12 months
and the same is allowed from 01.01.2005 to 31.12.2005
and if he applies for further extension, the same will not
be allowed before 1st July, 2006 to 30th June 2006, he
will be billed on normal tariff as if there were no
temporary disconnection.
vii) The industries, which are allowed temporary
disconnection, will pay minimum charges for one month
following the month in which temporary disconnection
has been allowed and no MMC will be levied thereafter.
Since MMC will be charged for the first month of the
TDCO, the consumer will be entitled for consuming
electricity equivalent to MMC in that billing month.
viii) Separate NDS connection
a) The existing or new HT industrial consumers can
seek a separate single phase NDS connection
upto a load 5 kW on the same premises having
regular industrial connection for the purpose of
meeting the requirement of lighting etc. for offices,
security, elevators, pumps etc. The consumer
through this connection shall not perform any
industrial activity even during temporary
disconnection period of their regular industrial
connection.
b) This connection would be treated as a separate
and distinct NDS connection altogether from the
regular industrial connection and will be
considered as a new connection.
c) This connection will be available to the consumer
even during the temporary disconnections of
industrial connections.
d) The wiring and the connected load for this NDS
connection will be physically & distinctly separated
from the wiring of the regular industrial connection
at all times & shall be connected to only lighting
loads.
e) The shifting of load from this NDS connection to
the regular industrial connection will be treated as
an act of un-authorized use of electricity and will
be treated as per applicable instruction/ policy of
the Nigam.
f) The Location of the metering arrangement for this
NDS connection will be separate from the
13
metering arrangement of their industrial
connection and will not be tapped from the
existing HT Industrial connection.
With the provision of a separate connection in the
NDS category for factory lighting purposes, the
facility to consume upto 5% of the monthly average
consumption of preceding 6 months for factory
lighting is not available to the consumer. And while
effecting the TDCO of the HT industrial consumer,
the same shall be effected by disconnecting/
removing of all 3 phases.
ix) In few cases, Nigam is not in a position to release
separate NDS connection as above due to non-
availability of LT lines within a radius of 300 meters. In
such cases during the period of temporary disconnection
beyond one month, the consumption of industry for repair
work and factory lighting, if any, upto 5% of the monthly
average consumption of preceding six months (or less, if
6 month consumption is not available) will be charged at
200% of the normal tariff. In case of excess consumption
than the said limit of 5%, the temporary disconnection
facility shall be considered to have been withdrawn from
that month and the consumer shall be billed on normal
tariff as if there were no temporary disconnection.
(vii) Contract Demand.
a) The contract demand means the maximum kW/kVA for
the supply of which the Licensee undertakes to provide
facilities from time to time.
b) In case the consumer exceeds his Contract Demand in
any month by more than 5%, a surcharge of 25% will be
levied on the Sale of Power (SOP)/monthly minimum
charges (Industrial, Factory Lighting and Colony
Lighting).
c) If in any case the maximum demand is being measured
in kW, the same shall be converted in kVA by the use of
actual power factor.
(viii) Power Factor
The monthly average power factor of the plant and apparatus
installed by the consumer shall not be less than 90% lagging.
The monthly average power factor shall mean the ratio
expressed, as percentage of total kWh to total KVAH supplied
during the month. The ratio shall be rounded upto two figures. In
case the 3rd figure is 5 or more than 5, then the figure at the
second decimal place shall be increased by one. In case the
monthly average power factor falls below 90% lagging, the
14
consumer shall have to pay a surcharge of 1% of SOP charges
for every 1% decrease in the power factor upto 80% and 2% of
SOP charges for every 1% decrease in power Factor below
80%. Rebate of 0.5% on SOP will be allowed for every 1%
increase in Power factor above 90%.
The rebate/ surcharge on account of power factor being
higher/ lower than the 90% is also applicable where the
consumer is billed on MMC basis. In such case, the rebate/
surcharge shall be allowed/ levied on actual SOP charges
and shall be deducted/ added to the monthly minimum
charges in case a consumer is billed on MMC basis.
(ix) Peak Load Exemption Charge (PLEC).
The H.T. industrial consumers where metering is though
Electronic Tri-vector Meters, using electricity by availing
permitted special dispensation or exemption during peak load
hours notified by the Licensee from time to time shall be billed
at extra charge of Rs. 2/- per kWh over and above the normal
tariff on the consumption recorded by the Electronic Tri-vector
Meter during this period. If the consumption of a consumer
during peak load hours in a month exceeds the prescribed limit,
the consumption during peak load hours shall be charged @
Rs. 4/- per kWh extra over and above the normal tariff. The
permissible load equivalent to percentage of contract demand
during peak load hours shall be converted into units by the
following formula.
Permissible Contract demand allowed in kVA x
consumption = during Average standard power factor x
the month No. of peak load hours x 30
Note: Average standard power factor shall be taken as 0.90
All HT industrial consumers with Electronic Tri-vector Meters,
who have not sought/ granted special dispensation, can avail
10% of Contract demand during peak load hours and the
consumption recorded during such peak load hours shall be
subject to additional charge and regulated as mentioned above.
(x) Payment.
In the event of the monthly bill not being paid in full within the
time specified in the bill, a surcharge of 2% shall be levied on
the unpaid amount of the bill for each 30 days successive
period or part thereof until the amount is paid in full.
(xi) Single Point Delivery.
The above tariff is based on the supply being given through a
single delivery and metering point and at a single voltage.
Supply at other points or at other voltage shall be separately
metered and billed.

INSTRUCTION NO. 5.15

Levy of monthly minimum charges on temporary disconnection:


Monthly Minimum Charges (MMC):
The industrial consumers seeking temporary disconnection of
supply shall submit their written requests giving therein specific
reasons for the same to SDO (OP) concerned at least one month in
advance of the date from which the disconnection is being sought.
Such requests for a maximum period of six months shall be examined
and decided by concerned Executive Engineer in case of LT industrial
consumer and by SE (OP) in the case of HT industrial consumer
keeping in view the merits of each case. The request for temporary
disconnection beyond a period of six months shall be referred by
respective SEs to concerned Chief Engineer (OP) for decision. CE
(OP) may allow temporary disconnection for a maximum continuous
period of 12 months on the merit of each case. While considering such
requests for temporary disconnections, the following guidelines are to
be kept in view :-
i) The consumer is not a defaulter of Nigams dues, whether
disputed or undisputed.
ii) The consumers seeking temporary disconnection under Force
Majeure Clause are not required to submit their requests one
month in advance as stipulated under above paragraph.
36
iii) The force Majeure Conditions for the purpose of this clause will
include only the following :-
(a) Acts of God e.g. floods, Tempests, Earthquakes.
Lightning.
(b) Act of Civil and Military Authorities e.g. Wars, Mutiny, and
Civil commotion/disturbances, Riots.
(c) Fires, Strikes, Lockouts.
NOTE: The disputes between partners, shortage of funds and
raw materials etc. will not be considered as Force
Majeure reasons under this clause.
iv) The disconnections sought under Force Majeure reasons must
be supported by documentary evidence issued by concerned
Civil Authorities.
v) Temporary Disconnection Order (T.D.C.O.) under Force
Majeure reasons can be allowed even beyond a continuous
period of 12 months by CE (OP) concerned. The CE (OP) will
however, submit periodical report after every six months
relating to temporary disconnections allowed by him to the
G.M./Commercial of the Nigam.
vi The requests for further-extension of temporary disconnection
who have been allowed TDCO for a period upto 12 months
shall be considered only after a minimum period of six months
from the date upto which the last disconnection was allowed.
For example in case a consumer seeks temporary
disconnection for 12 months and the same is approved from
01.01.2005 to 31.12.2005 and if he applies for further extension
the same will not be allowed before 1st July, 2006. During the
intervening period i.e. for the period 1st January 2006 to 30th
June 2006, he will be billed on normal tariff, as if there were no
temporary disconnection.
vii) Industries, which are allowed temporary disconnection, will pay
minimum charges for one month following the month in which
temporary disconnection has been allowed and no MMC will be
levied thereafter. Since (MMC will be charged for the first month
of the TDCO, the consumer will be entitled for consuming
electricity equivalent to the MMC.)
viii) Separate NDS connection
a) The existing or new LT/HT industrial consumers can
seek a separate single phase NDS connection upto a
load 5 kW on the same premises having regular
industrial connection for the purpose of meeting the
requirement of lighting etc. for offices, security, elevators,
pumps etc. The consumer through this connection shall
not perform any industrial activity even during temporary
disconnection period of their regular industrial
37
connection.
b) This connection would be treated as a separate and
distinct NDS connection altogether from the regular
industrial connection and will be considered as a new
connection.
c) This connection will be available to the consumer even
during the temporary disconnections of industrial
connections.
d) The wiring and the connected load for this NDS
connection will be physically & distinctly separated from
the wiring of the regular industrial connection at all times
& shall be connected to only lighting loads.
e) The shifting of load from this NDS connection to the
regular industrial connection will be treated as un-
authorised use of electricity and will be treated as per
applicable instruction /policy of the Nigam.
f) The Location of the metering arrangement for this NDS
connection will be separate from the metering
arrangement of their industrial connection and will not be
tapped from the existing LT/HT Industrial connection.
With the provision of a separate connection in the
NDS category for factory lighting purposes the facility to
consume upto 5% of the monthly average consumption of
preceding 6 months for factory lighting is not available to
the consumer. And while effecting the TDCO of the LT/HT
industrial consumer the same shall be effected by
disconnecting/ removing of all 3 phases.
ix) In few cases, Nigam is not in a position to release separate
NDS connection as above due to non-availability of LT lines
within a radius of 300 meters. In such cases during the period
of temporary disconnection beyond one month, the
consumption of industry for repair work and factory lighting, if
any, upto 5% of the monthly average consumption of preceding
six months (or less, if 6 month consumption is not available) will
be charged at 200% of the normal tariff. In case of excess
consumption than the said limit of 5%, the temporary
disconnection facility shall be considered to have been
withdrawn from that month and the consumer shall be billed on
normal tariff as if there were no temporary disconnection.
vi) The word month can be taken as the billing month or the
calendar month or a period of 30 days. In this regard, it is
clarified that since the billing to a consumer is done on the basis
of consumption during his billing cycle which is also called as
Billing Month, it would be desirable to grant the benefit of
temporary disconnection to the consumer from the start of the
38
billing month only.

Levy of surcharge:
The surcharge is leviable on all types of dues raised through
energy bills including energy charges recoverable under the schedule
of tariff and the amount recoverable under the schedule of general and
miscellaneous charges (excepting the amount of Electricity Duty and
M. Tax) in case the payment is not made within the due date.
********
INSTRUCTION NO. 5.17

Procedure for adjustment of levy of surcharge in case of part


payment:
If a consumer makes part payment of the bill the amount
received should be credited towards the Nigams dues and the
balance, if any, towards the Electricity Duty and Municipal Tax. This
will be clear from the example given below :-
Suppose the monthly bill of LT Industrial consumer consists of
the following items of charges :-
I) Balance carried forward from previous month Net Amount
a) Amount of bill Rs.100/-
b) Surcharge Rs. 2/-
c) Electricity Duty Rs. 60/-
Rs.162/-
II Current Bill.
a) Energy Charges Rs. 300/-
b) Rentals. Rs. 25/-
c) Sundry charges Rs. 150/-
d) Electricity duty Rs. 60/-
Rs. 535/-
TOTAL: Rs. 697/-
Part payment made by the consumer within the grace period say:
Rs.385/-
This amount of payment made by the consumer should be
adjusted first against the balance brought forward from previous month
including Electricity Duty, then towards current month bill and the
balance if any, towards Electricity Duty.
Therefore, amount of payment which will be Rs. (385-162) = Rs.223
accounted towards current month bill.
Therefore, unpaid amount of bill on which Rs. (475-223) = Rs.252
surcharge is leviable.
39
Therefore surcharge @ 2% 252x2 = 5.04
Balance to be carried forward to next month bill : 100
i) Unpaid amount of Boards dues including surcharge (252+5.04) = 257-04
ii) Electricity Duty 60-00
Total: 317.04

Method of Billing for H.T. Industrial consumers:


Fuel surcharge is a part of Electricity Charges (SOP charges).
Further the L.T. Surcharge is also a part of S.O.P. Charges chargeable
to those H.T. Indl. Consumers who are allowed supply on L.T. As
such, the cost of energy charges plus fuel surcharge plus L.T.
Surcharge (if applicable) form the part of sale of power charges (SOP
charges).
In view of the above, it is made clear that various other charges
e.g. penalty for low power factor, penalty for exceeding contract
demand etc. are chargeable on the total S.O.P. charges as clarified
above and as laid down in the schedule of tariff.
2. Levy of surcharge on account of low power factor and for
exceeding the sanctioned contract demand beyond the prescribed limit
in respect of HT industrial consumer shall be regulated as under :-
a) As per the existing provision of tariff schedule for H.T.
Industrial consumers in case the monthly average power
factor falls below 90%, the consumer shall have to pay a
surcharge of 1% of S.O.P. charges for each 1% decrease
in the power factor upto 80% and 2% of SOP charges for
each 1% decrease in power factor below 80%.
From the above provision it is abundantly clear that
surcharge for low power factors is to be levied on the actual
SOP charges without any reference to Monthly Minimum
charges. Similarly the rebate on account of healthy power
factor @ .5% for every 1% increase in power factor above
90% is to be allowed on actual SOP charges.
b) Similarly as per the existing provision of the tariff schedule, if
any H.T. Industrial consumer exceeds his contract demand
in any month by more than 5% of his sanctioned demand, a
surcharge of 25% will be levied on the SOP/MMC,
whichever is higher.
In view of the above provisions, in such cases the levy of
surcharge is governed by SOP or MMC whichever is higher.
For example if the bill of a H.T. Industrial consumer because
of his low down consumption is rendered on the basis of
monthly minimum charges, then the surcharge is to be
levied on the amount of monthly minimum charges.

Applicability of tariff for Mushroom Farming:


Under the existing schedule of tariff, Mushroom farming has not
been categorized under any specific category. Presently the
44
Mushroom farming is taking place in domestic houses or in the farms/
agriculture fields and in some places separate set up has been made
for Mushroom cultivation.
In view of the above, the applicability of tariff for Mushroom
farming is as under :-
1. Mushroom cultivation, which is carried out in one or two
rooms under humid conditions, may be charged tariff as
per the category under which connection has been taken.
2. When Mushroom cultivation is undertaken in agricultural
land in rural areas then it would be charged at
agricultural metered connection rate for which the farmer
would seek a separate metered connection.
3. In case this activity is carried in rural domestic and urban
domestic houses/ areas then the farmer would require a
separate connection and would be charged at domestic
supply tariff.
4. If the Mushroom cultivation is done in Non-domestic/
commercial areas then the Non-domestic tariff would be
applicable and the farmer would seek a separate
connection under Non-domestic supply category.

Billing of Domestic consumers in Police Colonies/Police Lines


and other Departmental Colonies of various Govt. Departments
including Boards and Corporations:
The general or mixed load exceeding 10 kW is available to the
Departmental Colonies including Police Colonies/Police Lines under
the schedule of tariff for Bulk Supply. As such, energy supply to all
Police Colonies/Police Lines and other departmental colonies must be
made at 11 KV under Bulk Supply. No individual connections are to be
released for Domestic Supply to the individuals in such colonies.
2. There may be some other connections in such colonies falling
under Non-Domestic/Industrial tariff etc. Such connections would be
metered separately and billed by DHBVNL directly. In case such
consumers are being fed through commonly laid system, the power
consumption by such consumers would be discounted from the total
consumption metered at single point.
