Two months after an 82-year-old resident of Sector 14 was issued an electricity bill of Rs 79 lakh, the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) has admitted that the bill was inflated and initiated remedial action. They said this bill has been rectified in their system and assured that the consumer would receive a hard copy by Friday at the latest.
The inflated bill corresponds to the months of May and June, the payment for which was due by August 9.
SS Hans, who received the inflated bill, said he was shocked to see the bill amount and that it took his wife two months of standing in queues and doggedly meeting DHBVN officials to get the bill revised.
