The consumption for bona-fide factory lighting will be included for charges
under the above tariff. However, supply to residential quarters if any attached to the
factory will be separately metered and billed under schedule 'DS' for LT industrial

(b) The industrial consumers seeking temporary disconnection of supply shall submit
their written requests giving therein specific reasons for the same to Sub
Divisional Officer (Operations) {S.D.O. (OP)} concerned at least one month in

Note: The disputes between partners, shortage of funds and raw materials etc.
temporary disconnection for a maximum continuous period of 12 months on
the merits will not be considered as Force Majeure reasons under this clause.
b) In case of existing consumers where the shunt capacitors have not been

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
minimum period of six months from the date up to which the last disconnection

for 12 months and the same is allowed from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.2011 and if
he applies for further extension, the same will not be allowed before 1st July,
2012. During the intervening period i.e. for the period 1st January 2012 to 30th
June 2012, 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 @ 400 per kW or part thereof of the connected load for
one month following the month in which temporary disconnection has been
allowed and no minimum charges will be levied thereafter.
viii) During the period of temporary disconnection beyond one month, the
consumption of industry for repair work and factory lighting, if any, up to 5% of
the monthly average consumption of preceding six months (or less, if 6 months
consumption is not available) will be charged at 200% of the normal tariff. In

factor shall mean the ratio expressed, as percentage of total kWh to total KVAH
supplied during the month. The ratio shall be rounded up to two figures. In
case the monthly average power factor falls below 90% lagging, the
consumer shall have to pay a surcharge of 1% of SOP charges for every
