• 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)
