    How to calculate domestic charges in Bilaspur

    To calculate domestic electricity charges in Bilaspur, 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.

    10. 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.
