b) The rebate for incremental consumption shall be applicable for HT industries, HT
commercial, HT public services, HT-PWW, HT Railways/Metro/Mono and HT-Group
Housing Society (Residential) including EHV consumers under these categories.
c) Further, the rebate for incremental consumption shall also be applicable for LT
industries (incl powerloom), LT commercial and LT public services.
d) The rebate shall be given to eligible consumers including open access consumers falling
under above consumer categories to the extent of procurement from MSEDCL.
e) The rebate shall be for a period of 3 years subject to reconsideration during the MTR.
f) The rebate shall be allowed to eligible consumers who consume power above threshold
limit.
g) The 3-year average monthly consumption by consumer from FY 2020-21 to FY 2022-
23 shall be considered as baseline consumption (or monthly threshold consumption) for
determination of incremental consumption by such eligible consumers.
h) In case of a consumer registered into system for duration lower than 3 years, such
consumer shall be eligible for availing incremental rebate from the next billing cycle
upon completion of 3-year period and average monthly consumption for past three years
shall be considered as its baseline consumption (or monthly threshold consumption) in
such cases for determination of their incremental consumption for the purpose of rebate.
i) In case continuation of such incremented consumption rebate mechanism is found
necessary and proposed by MSEDCL for next control period, (i.e. beyond FY2024-25),
baseline consumption (or monthly threshold consumption) shall be reset based on 3-
year average from FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25 or such other benchmark, upon following
due consultation process and upon prudence check.
j) The billing at the reduced rates after allowing the rebate shall be done on monthly basis
subject to condition that net entitlement for the rebate under this head of incremental
consumption shall be determined on annual basis (April to March) equal to energy units
consumption in excess of baseline consumption (i.e. annual threshold consumption).
The adjustment for shortfall/excess in case cumulative monthly consumption for the
yearly consumption vis-à-vis its baseline consumption (i.e. annual threshold

23 and Revised Projections & Tariff for FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25 for MSEDCL
consumption) shall be effected in the last monthly (for March) billing period. No carry-
forward of shortfall/excess shall be allowed from one year to next year.
k) For example, If a consumer’s 3-year average annual consumption was 12,000 units,
the consumer shall be entitled for the rebate of Rs.0.75/kVAh for consumption
exceeding its monthly threshold consumption (not below the baseline consumption of
1,000 units per month) in FY 2020-21 onwards. However, in case its cumulative
monthly consumption for the yearly period falls short of annual threshold consumption
of 12,000 units then, consumer shall not be entitled for incremental consumption rebate
for that financial year and adjustment for shortfall (or rebate already availed by
consumer in earlier months, if any) shall be adjusted for recovery in monthly billing
period for March.
l) The Commission has not considered isolated cases which may become Permanently
Disconnected during the year in which a rebate has been availed for some months. The
details of such cases, if any will be dealt based on the data as may be submitted by
MSEDCL during MYT Petition.
m) The rebate shall be over and above the existing rebates subject to the fact that the
consumer’s total variable charges should not be less than Rs.4/ kVAh after accounting
all applicable rebates.
n) The rebates would also be applicable to Open Access consumers, subject to conditions
outlined above.
Rebate for Bulk consumption for eligible consumers within HT-Industrial category shall be
governed as per following conditions:
a. All HT-Industrial consumers with monthly consumption in excess of 1 lakh units per
month (0.1 MU per month) shall be eligible to avail Rebate on Bulk Consumption with
a reverse telescopic slab structure as outlined below: Thus, the Commission has decided
to introduce “Bulk Consumption” rebate in a reverse telescopic manner for HT-
Industrial consumers in following manner:
I. For monthly consumption (> 1 Lakh units to 1 MU) per month: 2%
II. For monthly consumption (> 1 MU to 5 MU) per month: 1.5%
Illustration:
Say a consumer consumes 15 MU during month then, its consumption more than 1 Lakh
units upto 1 MU units rebate will be 2%/unit, for next 4 MU (i.e. upto consumption of 5
Page 45 of 53
Approval of Final Truing-up for FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22, Provisional Truing-up for FY 2022-
23 and Revised Projections & Tariff for FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25 for MSEDCL
MU) rebate will be 1.5%/unit and for consumption in excess of 5 MU upto 15 MU,
rebate will be 1%/unit.
In case of industrial consumer under HT-Industry with single shift operation, Demand
Charges at the rate of 60% of Applicable Demand Charges as per Tariff Schedule shall be
levied, subject to following conditions:
a. Single shift operation means running of operations at a stretch for maximum 10 Hrs.
For illustration, a consumer running 4hrs.in one stretch and 6hrs.in another stretch
cannot be considered as running in a single shift. However, a maximum of three
instances of running beyond 10hrs up to 12hrs is permitted in a billing cycle.
b. Consumer must declare in advance about one shift operation. In absence of such

a. Consumers having Load Factor above 75% and upto 85% will be entitled to an
incentive in the form of a rebate of 0.75% on the Energy Charges for every percentage
point increase in Load Factor from 75% to 85%. Consumers having a Load Factor
above 85 % will be entitled to a rebate of 1% on the Energy Charges for every
percentage point increase in Load Factor from 85%. The total rebate will be subject to
a ceiling of 15% of the Energy Charges applicable to the consumer.
c. The Load Factor incentive will be available only if the consumer has no arrears with
the Distribution Licensee, and payment is made within seven days from the date of the
electricity bill. However, it will be available to consumers in whose case payment of
arrears in instalments has been allowed by the Distribution Licensee, and such payment
is being made as scheduled. The Distribution Licensee shall take a commercial decision
on the schedule for such payments.
1. The Load Factor is to be computed as follows:
In case the consumer exceeds its Contract Demand (including during the non-peak hours, i.e.,
22:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs.) in any particular month, the Load Factor Incentive will not be payable
to the consumer in that month

23 and Revised Projections & Tariff for FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25 for MSEDCL
In case a consumer (availing Demand-based Tariff) exceeds his Contract Demand, he will be
billed at the applicable Demand Charge rate for the Demand actually recorded, and also be
charged an additional amount at the rate of 150% of the applicable Demand Charge (only for
the Demand in excess of the Contract Demand).
In case a LT consumer with a sanction demand/ contract demand less than 20 kW records actual
contract demand above 20 kW, he will be billed at the tariff applicable for the respective load
slab approved by the Commission, in which recorded demand falls for that billing cycle only
and also be charged an additional amount at the rate of 150% of the applicable charge for the
Demand in excess of the Contract Demand.
Further Distribution licensee can enhance the Contract Demand of the consumer when the
consumers exceeds the Contract Demand on more than three occasions during a calendar year,
irrespective whether the Consumer submits an application for the same or otherwise. However,
before such revision of Contact Demand, Distribution Licensee must give 15 days’ notice to
such consumer. Also, the Consumer is liable to pay necessary charges as may be stipulated in
the approved Schedule of Charges for the revised Contract Demand.
Under these circumstances, the consumer shall not be liable for any other action under
Section 126 of the EA, 2003, since the penal additional Demand Charge provides for the
penalty that the consumer is liable to pay for exceeding his Contract Demand. In case a
consumer exceeds his Contract Demand on more than three occasions in a calendar year, the
action to be taken would be governed by the provisions of the Supply Code Regulations.
Consumers having a Captive Power Plant can opt for Standby Demand and Additional Demand
Charges for such Standby Demand will be as follows:
a. 25% of the Applicable Demand Charges for months when standby capacity is not
utilized
b. Demand Charges at the rate of 100% of Applicable Demand Charges for months when
standby capacity is used under planned or un-planned shutdown of CPP
d. In case no Standby capacity has been opted by consumer having CPP, then additional
amount for exceeding Contract Demand be charged at 200% of applicable Demand
Change (only for demand excess of Contracted Demand)
