How to calculate domestic charges in Hosur

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

1. Determine the usage slab: Identify the total units consumed in the billing period.

2. Check the tariff rates: Refer to the latest tariff rates approved by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC). These rates vary based on the consumption slab.

3. Calculate charges for each slab:

For units up to 400, apply the corresponding rate.

For units between 401-500, apply the next rate.

Continue this process for each slab (e.g., 501-600, 601-800, 801-1000, and above 1000 units).

4. Add fixed charges: Include any fixed charges that may be applicable, such as meter charges or other miscellaneous fees.

5. Consider subsidies: If applicable, adjust the bill according to the state government's subsidies. For example, consumers may get the first 100 units free and a 50% waiver on the subsequent 100 units.

6. Calculate total bill: Sum up the charges for each slab and add any fixed charges to get the total electricity bill.

7. Verify with official sources: Always cross-check the rates and calculations with the official TANGEDCO website or other reliable sources to ensure accuracy.

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.
