How to calculate domestic charges in Akola

To calculate domestic electricity charges in Akola, follow these steps:

1. Determine consumption slab: Identify the total number of units consumed in the billing period.

2. Apply tariff rates: Check which tariff slab your consumption falls into (e.g., LT-I A, LT-I B, LT-I C). Apply the respective per-unit charges for each slab.

3. Calculate energy charges: Multiply the number of units in each slab by the corresponding per-unit rate. Sum up the charges for all slabs.

4. Add fixed charges: Include the fixed charges based on the kW demand, if applicable.

5. Calculate electricity duty: Multiply the total units consumed by the electricity duty rate (0.06 paise per unit).

6. Add customer charges: Include customer charges based on the consumption slab.

7. Sum up all charges: Add energy charges, fixed charges, electricity duty, and customer charges to get the total bill amount.

8. Check minimum charges: Ensure the total bill is not less than the minimum charges specified by the electricity board.

9. Adjustments and final bill: Apply any adjustments for previous payments or credits. The final amount is your total electricity bill for the period.

Example calculation:

• Consumption: 450 units

• Energy charges:

• First 200 units: 200 * Rs. 5.1 = Rs. 1020

• Next 100 units: 100 * Rs. 7.7 = Rs. 770

• Next 150 units: 150 * Rs. 9 = Rs. 1350

• Total energy charges: Rs. 1020 + Rs. 770 + Rs. 1350 = Rs. 3140

• Electricity duty: 450 * Rs. 0.06 = Rs. 27

• Customer Charges: Rs. 160 (for above 800 units)

• Fixed charges: Rs. 10 (assuming 1 kW demand)

• Total Bill: Rs. 3140 (energy) + Rs. 27 (duty) + Rs. 160 (customer) + Rs. 10 (fixed) = Rs. 3337.

By following these steps, you can accurately calculate your residential electricity charges in Akola.
