Bijli nigam to introduce VDS from Aug 16
Chandigarh, August 13 While stating this here today, Managing Director, UHBVN, Arun Kumar, said the scheme would be available from August 16 to September 30, 2011, and the nigam would regularise the load without any penalty. The procedure of regularisation of unauthorised load has been further simplified. The consumers, desirous of declaring their extended loads, would be required to submit Application and Agreement (A and A) form giving details of load. There would be no need to submit any terms and conditions forms or affidavits. However, the consumer would give an undertaking that he would abide by all the terms and conditions of the power supply. There would be no need to submit a test report up to an extension of 20 KW of load. The applicant would be required to satisfy that the wiring for the extended load has been carried out by an authorised contractor and the same has been tested as per the provisions of the relevant Act. The load of more than 20 KW would be regularised after having a fresh test report. The applicants will have to deposit consumption security at the new rates. The non-domestic supply consumers will be required to deposit fixed service charges. The extended load shall be considered as regularised with immediate effect after the procedure is completed. The nigam would also allow change of category from domestic to non-domestic and LT industries provided the applicants deposit the consumption security at prevailing rates, service connection charges on completion of formalities. The scheme would also be available to the consumers who have applied for extension of load and the applications were under process, he added.
