How is Electricity Bill Calculated?

Understanding how your electricity bill is calculated can help you manage and potentially reduce your energy expenses. Here's a general overview of the process: 

  1. Check Meter Reading: Your electricity meter records the amount of electricity consumed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The current month's reading is compared with the previous month's to determine usage.

  2. Calculate Consumption: Subtract the previous month's reading from the current month's to find the total units consumed.

  3. Apply Tariff Rates: Electricity providers use a slab system where different rates apply based on consumption levels. For example: 

    • 0–100 units: ₹3 per unit

    • 101–200 units: ₹4 per unit

    • Above 200 units: ₹5 per unit

  4. Add Fixed Charges: A fixed charge is added regardless of consumption, covering maintenance and infrastructure costs.

  5. Include Taxes and Surcharges: Applicable government taxes and surcharges are added to the total.

  6. Get Final Amount: The sum of energy charges, fixed charges, and taxes constitutes your final bill.

Note: Tariff rates and slab structures vary across different states and electricity boards.

Paying your electricity bill online using a credit card is a convenient, secure, and rewarding method. By leveraging the benefits offered by credit cards, you can manage your utility expenses efficiently while enjoying additional perks. 

Users can securely pay electricity bill online for multiple State Electricity Boards across India using a credit card. Simply select your electricity board below, enter your consumer details, choose Credit Card as payment mode, and complete your payment instantly and securely.
