ORDER

Sub : Calculation of the requirement of additional security on

the basis of average consumption of electricity for the

preceding twelve months.

In accordance with the Clause-16(d) “Annual Review of

Security Amount” of TCS-04, the Nigam reviews at the beginning of each

financial year, the requirement of security amount from the consumer to

cover the average consumption of electricity for the preceding twelve

months. As per practice in vogue, the average consumption is taken for the

preceding period of billing months of April to March (i.e. consumption

months of March to April ) of every year.

Some of the consumers have represented against above

methodology. They have protested that the period of calculating the

average consumption of preceding 12 months should be considered as

consumption months of April to March of every year i.e. billing months of

May to April.

The matter was put up in 97th meeting of the Coordination

Committee held on 28-09-06. The Coordination Committee decided that

position be clarified for the information of field officers. Accordingly,

following procedure be adopted for calculating the additional amount of

security deposit :

The period for arriving at the amount of additional security

deposit be taken as consumption months of April to March i.e.

billing months of May to April of preceding twelve months, instead

of present practice of considering consumption months of March to

February i.e. billing months of April to March.

ORDER

Sub : Limitation prescribed by Law in raising Debits as a

consequence to meter found defective on testing-Debiting

the assessment within 2 years.

With regard to limitation of law applicable in the matter of

amount due from any consumer relating to Electricity Charges etc. Section

56(2) of the Electricity Act-03 is applicable. The same is reproduced

hereunder :-

Sec.56(2):

“Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the

time being in force, no sum, due from any consumer under this section,

shall be recoverable after a period of two years from the date when such

sum became first due unless such sum has been shown continuously as

recoverable, as arrear of charges for electricity supplied and the licensee

shall not cut off the supply of the electricity”.

On the basis of the provisions of the Electricity Act, similar

provision exists in the Electricity Supply Code notified by the R.E.R.C.

and also in the “Terms and Conditions for Supply of Electricity-04”. The

clause 39 of the Electricity Supply Code and the clause-49 of the TCS-04

is relevant on the subject matter. Clause 49 of TCS-04 is also reproduced

hereunder :-

Clause-49 of TCS-04 :

“No sum due from any consumers on account of charges for

electricity or any sum other than a charge for electricity shall be

Page 01 of 04

COMML.JDP/353

-: 2 :-

recoverable after a period of two years from the date when such sum

became first due unless such sum has been shown continuously as arrears

and the Nigam shall not cut off supply of electricity ”.

On perusal of the aforesaid provisions, it is clear that no sum

due from any consumer is recoverable after a period of two years from the

date when such sum become first due unless such sum has been shown

continuously as arrear of charges for Electricity Supply and the licensee

shall not cur off the supply of the electricity. It is, therefore, necessary to

know that if a period of two years has passed from the date any amount of

electricity charges becomes first due from any consumer and in case the

demand has not been raised within the prescribed two years period, the

same cannot be recovered.

If this provision is applied in cases where the metering

equipment of the consumer is checked by the meter wing officers and in

case the meter is found to be stopped or meter is declared as defective on

the basis of test report, in such cases, the assessment under clause-27 of the

TCS-04 or under clause 28 of the TCS-04 is required to be made. If the

assessing officer fails to assess the amount and debit the same in the bill of

the consumer and if a period of two years has passed from the date of

checking then the amount cannot be recovered in terms of Section-56(2) of

the Electricity Act-2003 as the same becomes time barred and there is no

provision in the Act for condoning the delay occurred in raising the

demand.

The State Regulatory Commission had also decided cases

involving delay in debiting assessment amount to Ajmer Discom in the

Page 02 of 04

COMML.JDP/353

-: 3 :-

petition No.RERC/90/06 and 91/06 in the matter of M/S Sisodia Marble

and Granites Pvt. Ltd. & M/S Sem Polymer Pvt. Ltd., Udaipur. Based on

the directions/orders of RERC as laid down while deciding aforesaid

petitions the sum becomes due from the date when the meter is found

defective or metering errors are detected as per test report whichever is

later, and the same is required to be debited within limitation period of two

years failing which the assessment would become time barred in terms of

Sec.56(2) of Electricity Act and hence not recoverable from consumer.

This matter was submitted for consideration of the

Coordination Committee in its 97th meeting held on 28

th Sept., 06. The

Coordination Committee noted the position brought out in the agenda note

and also noted that circular be issued by Discoms to sensitise the field

officers to take care of limitation bar in raising debits of assessment.

From the position submitted above, it is clear that if the

demand for electricity charges is raised after expiry of two years from the

date of testing, the same is not recoverable because of limitation prescribed

under the Electricity Act-2003 and therefore utmost care is necessarily

required in keeping watch over such demands to avoid these becoming

barred by limitation of law as prescribed by Electricity Act, and causing

further implications.

It is, therefore, enjoined upon all field officers to strictly

follow the instruction enumerated herein above.
