Haryana: Now, you can upload meter reading on power board site

Panchkula: The Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) has initiated ‘trust reading’ facility on their website for domestic, non-domestic and light industrial consumers, if they feel that their reading is not accurate.

Residents were given average electricity bill for April. However, all the resident welfare associations (RWAs) raised the issue, asking the UHBVN to take accurate meter reading.

According to the members of the various resident welfare associations, the officials of the UHBVN failed to send their men for meter reading due to the lockdown and sent inappropriate electricity bills on average basis to residents across the district.

The act was opposed by all the residents and letters were sent to the UHBVN for revision of bills based on meter reading.

Taking the issue into consideration, officials of the UHBVN held a state-level meeting in which officials of the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) also joined.

Officials of the UHBVN and DHBVN decided to start ‘trust reading’ facility in 42 cities of the state. Under this facility, consumers will be able to upload their electricity meter reading on the Nigam’s website.

In case residents find that the meter readings are wrongly mentioned in the electricity bill, consumers can get the bills fixed by providing correct meter reading online.
