Your DGVCL bill equals fixed charges plus energy charges, where energy charge is units consumed multiplied by the applicable slab rate, plus taxes.
- Note the units consumed on your DGVCL electricity bill.
- Find your tariff category, such as RGP or NON-RGP, and its slab rates.
- Multiply units by the slab rate. Example: an RGP Urban consumer using 80 units pays 50 × Rs. 3.05 = Rs. 152.50 and 30 × Rs. 3.50 = Rs. 105.00, totalling Rs. 257.50 in energy charges.
- Add the fixed charges for your load and category.
- Add taxes and any late payment surcharge, about 1.25% per month.
