Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) officials are now urging users to choose the prepaid concept of electricity after installing smart meters in more than 95% of households in Panchkula.

UHBVN will provide a 5 pc rebate in their bills to customers who choose prepaid connections.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Sanjay Verma, SDO, Panchkula, said people who have smart meters installed in their homes can now convert their scheme to a prepaid system by dialing the toll-free number 1912. The only requirement is that the consumer’s bill be cleared before applying for the prepaid mode.
