1. Gather Information:
Previous meter reading: Find the meter reading from your last electricity bill.
Current meter reading: Take a reading from your electricity meter.
2. Calculate unit consumption:
Subtract the previous meter reading from the current meter reading. This difference represents the units of electricity consumed during the billing period.
Unit Consumed = Current Reading - Previous Reading
*For example, if your current reading is 1450 kWh and your previous reading was 1200 kWh, you've consumed 250 kWh (1450 kWh - 1200 kWh).
3. Apply rate and calculate charges:
Electricity rate: Find the electricity rate per unit charged by your electricity board. This information is usually mentioned on your bill or the board's website.
Multiply the units consumed by the rate to get the energy charges.
Energy Charge = Unit Consumed × Rate per Unit
*For example, if the rate is ₹5 per kWh and you consumed 250 kWh, the energy charge would be ₹1250 (250 kWh × ₹5).
4. Additional charges:
Your bill might include fixed charges, meter maintenance charges, or taxes. These are usually mentioned separately on your bill and need to be added to the energy charge for the final amount.
Total Bill = Energy Charge + Fixed Charges + Other Charges (if applicable)
The K number or consumer number is the unique identification number assigned to every connection by the electricity board. You can easily find this number on your light bill.

Flickering lights: Frequent dimming or flickering lights could be a sign of meter malfunction or electrical issues.
Sparks or burning smell: These are red flags! Contact a qualified electrician immediately to address safety concerns.
Contact electricity board: Report a suspected faulty meter to your electricity board. They will send a technician to inspect and potentially replace the meter.
