Electricity connections of consumers who have pending bills will not be disconnected till June 30, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa announced on Wednesday.
This and other energy-related concessions are part of the government’s Rs 1,610-crore special package to help tide over the Covid-19 lockdown. Electricity consumers across all categories have been included in the package.
Those paying their bills on time or in advance will get incentives and concessions, the CM said. “There will be reduction in the interest on the amount for the delayed payment. Opportunity will be provided for the payment of the balance bill amount in instalments,” Yediyurappa said.
