UP: Power dues mount, CS asks govt depts to pay bills on time
As unpaid electricity bills of Uttar Pradesh government departments and local bodies pile up to nearly ₹14,000 crore, the state exchequer is losing hundreds of crore rupees every month in late payment surcharge (LPSC).
Concerned over the mounting financial drain, chief secretary SP Goyal has issued a stern directive to all departments, local bodies, and government institutions to ensure timely payment of electricity bills.
