BESCOM to charge additional Rs. 1.15 per unit of electricity starting September cycle; Details here
Bengaluru: Starting this month, Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) consumers across all categories will see an additional charge of Rs 1.15 per unit due to the recent revision in its Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA).
According to Bescom's order, 51 paise will be collected quarterly for FPPCA, with an additional 64 paise collected monthly.
Bescom officials have clarified that the FPPCA cost has significantly decreased compared to the previous month when consumers were charged Rs 2.05 per unit.
Beginning its billing cycle for September, Bescom has instructed billing personnel and meter readers to collect Rs 1.15 per unit from all consumer categories in the five districts under Bescom's jurisdiction. However, households registered under the Gruha Jyothi scheme will not have to pay the additional charges, as the state government will cover these costs.
