accordance with the formula specified in the relevant Multi Year Tariff Regulations and any
directions that may be given by the Commission from time to time, and will be applicable to
all consumer categories for their entire consumption.

In case of any variation in the fuel prices and power purchase prices, the Distribution Licensee
shall pass on the adjustments through the FAC component of the Z-factor Charge accordingly.

The details of the applicable ZFAC for each month shall be available on the Distribution
Licensee’s website www.mahadiscom.in.

Electricity Duty and Tax on Sale of Electricity

Electricity Duty and Tax on Sale of Electricity shall be levied in addition to the tariffs approved

Average Power Factor =
Total (kVAh)

Wherein the kVAh is = √∑(KWh)2 + ∑(RkVAh Lag + RkVAh Lead)2

Further, average PF so computed can be considered as leading or lagging based on the


following test:

If “RkVAh lead” > “RkVAh lag” then “Average P.F.” is to be treated as “Lead P.F.”

If “RkVAh lead” = < “RkVAh lag” then “Average P.F.” is to be treated as “Lag P.F.”

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.

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

c. Billing will be done based on MRI/AMR Data.

Load Factor Incentive

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.

b. This incentive is applicable only to consumers in the tariff categories HT I: Industry,


HT II: Commercial and HT VIII: Public Services – HT VIII (A) and HT VIII (B) only.`

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:

Consumption during the month in MU


Load Factor =
Maximum Consumption Possible during the month in MU

Maximum consumption possible = Contract Demand (kVA) X Unity Power Factor X


(Total no. of hours during the month, less actual interruptions hours recorded on meter
for billing period)

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

Penalty for exceeding Contract Demand

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.

Additional Demand Charges for Consumers having Captive Power Plant

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

c. In case recorded Demand exceeds Contract Demand + Standby Capacity, then


applicable Demand Charge for the Demand actually recorded, and an additional amount
at the rate of 150% of the applicable Demand Charge (only for the Demand in excess
of the Contract Demand + Standby Capacity)

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)

Consumers’ Security Deposit

As specified under Regulations 13 of the MERC (Supply Code Electricity Supply Code and
Standards of Performance of Distribution Licensees including Power Quality) Regulations,

Definitions

Maximum Demand

Maximum Demand in kilo-Watts or kilo-Volt Amperes, in relation to any period shall, unless
otherwise provided in any general or specific Order of the Commission, mean twice (or four
times for fifteen minute time block) the highest number of kilo-watt-hours or kilo-Volt Ampere
hours supplied and taken during any consecutive thirty minute blocks (or fifteen minute time
block) in that period, as the case may be.

Contract Demand

Contract Demand means the demand in kilo-Watt (kW) or kilo–Volt Amperes (kVA), mutually
agreed between the Distribution Licensee and the consumer as entered into in the agreement or
agreed through other written communication. (For conversion of kW into kVA, the Power
Factor of 0.80 shall be applied.)

Sanctioned Load

Sanctioned Load means the load in kW mutually agreed between the Distribution Licensee and
the consumer.

In case the meter is installed on the LV/MV side, the methodology to be followed for billing
purpose is as follows

2% to be added to MV demand reading, to determine the kW or kVA billing demand, and


‘X’ units to the MVA reading to determine the total energy compensation to compensate the
transformation losses, where is calculated as follows
‘X’ = (730 * kVA rating of transformer)/500 Units/month, to compensate for the iron losses,
plus one percent of units registered on the LT side for copper losses.
