There is a big news for electricity consumers in Haryana. According to Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, FSA has been extended till December on various categories of electricity consumers. According to this, the electricity corporation will recover 47 paise per unit as FSA. By continuing FSA, the consumer will have to pay approximately Rs 100 extra every month.
Electricity consumers in Haryana will now have to pay Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA) till December. The power corporations, which are charging FSA of 47 paise per unit, have extended the recovery period by six months. Earlier, FSS was imposed till June 30, 2024 by issuing an order on April 1, 2023.
According to the instructions issued by the North Haryana Power Distribution Corporation, the existing FSA will continue to be charged on various categories of electricity consumers till December. FSA means the amount that is done by the power distribution companies to compensate for the expenditure on additional electricity purchased through short-term agreements.
Consumers will have to pay Rs 100 more every month
By continuing FSA, consumers will have to pay approximately Rs 100 more every month. We can understand it like this that if the bill comes for 200 units, then 47 paise will be added on each unit. That means about Rs 94 will be added to the bill for FSA. If the bill comes more than this, then you will have to pay accordingly. If you pay the bill in two months, then you will have to pay Rs 188 for a total of 400 units.
The poor will not have to pay the minimum monthly fee
The state government has also given relief to poor electricity consumers. Electricity consumers in the category of domestic connection up to two kilowatts in rural and urban areas will not have to pay the minimum monthly fee (MMC) of Rs 115. That is, they will have to pay as much money as the electricity they consume. Nine and a half lakh poor families of the state have benefited from this.
