Power charges are set to increase in Chandigarh from the next billing cycle as the UT administrator has given his approval to the imposition of 10 paise per unit municipal cess on electricity.
Confirming it, MC commissioner KK Yadav said the tax will be notified in a day or two as the file has been cleared by UT administrator VP Singh Badnore. The new charges will be applicable from the next billing cycle, he said.
Yadav said the cess will earn MC Rs 15 crore annually that will be spent on improving streetlights across the city.
