What is the BESCOM billing cycle and due date
- Domestic Consumers: For homes and residential properties, BESCOM follows a monthly billing cycle. This means you will receive a bill every month, and the due date for payment will typically be mentioned on the bill itself.

How is your BESCOM electricity bill calculated
Your BESCOM bill payment amount is units consumed multiplied by the applicable slab rate, plus fixed charges, Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC) and taxes.
- Subtract the previous meter reading from the current reading to find units consumed.
- Multiply the units by the BESCOM electricity unit charges for your slab.
