UPPCL to roll out bill relief scheme on December 1

From December 1 (Monday), the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) will roll out the ‘Bijli Bill Rahat Yojana’ (Electricity Bill Relief Scheme) offering for the first time a 100% waiver on surcharge and interest, along with significant relief on principal dues for domestic (LMV-1 up to 2 kW) and small commercial (LMV-2 up to 1 kW) consumers. LMV stands for low medium voltage.

The scheme promises major concessions for early registration and quicker payment and also covers all electricity theft cases, offering settlement and relief from FIRs and court proceedings.
