Electricity consumers in Haryana will now have to pay Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA) till December. The power corporations, which are charging FSA at 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 Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, the existing FSA will continue to be charged on electricity consumers of various categories till December. FSA means the amount that is paid by the electricity distribution companies to compensate for the expenditure incurred 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 about Rs 100 more every month. You can understand it like this that if the bill comes for 200 units, then 47 paise will be added per unit. That means about Rs 94 will be added to the FSA bill. 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 any minimum monthly fee
The state government has also given relief to poor electricity consumers. Electricity consumers in the category of domestic connections up to two kilowatts in rural and urban areas will not have to pay the minimum monthly charge (MMC) of Rs 115. That is, they will have to pay as much electricity as they consume. Nine and a half lakh poor families of the state have got the benefit of this.
