Sub: Complaint on wrong bill amount for the month of ..............
Ref: Electricity connection consumer no. ........... area code ........

Dear Sir,

I am currently residing at ................., which is having an electricity connection bearing consumer number ............, area code ............ Today, I was shocked to receive the current electricity bill (no. .....) for an amount of Rs. .......... My monthly electricity bill amounts generally range between Rs. ........ to Rs. ......... The bill for this month (month name) is almost twice the amount of my regular bills.

I investigated the matter from my side to find out the error and I noticed that the meter reading unit for the current bill is showing more units than the current meter reading which is impossible.

Units as per last billing: .........
Current meter reading units: ..........

As you will notice, there is clearly an error in it. I, therefore, kindly request you to correct the current bill and issue a fresh bill for the current month. Otherwise, please adjust the excess amount to be paid by me for the current wrong bill amount in the next month's bill amount.

I hope my complaint will be resolved as soon as possible.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

    1. Each bill has the break up of what's the fixed charges and what's the energy charges and other charges details. Also it has the details about what the unpaid arrears was for last month. Compile all the unpaid bills. Check each charges and arrears details. When you do this analysis, you will find out how the amount summed up to be so large. And, if you find any irregularities in the amount, then you can visit the concerned electricity office and lodge a complaint.
