Frequently Asked Questions
How are electricity units rounded in KSEB bills?
KSEB rounds electricity units to the nearest whole number. If your consumption is 245.6 units, it will be billed as 246 units. Fractions of 0.5 and above are rounded up, while below 0.5 are rounded down.
Do fixed charges vary by connection type in KSEB?
Yes, KSEB fixed charges vary based on connection type and sanctioned load. Domestic connections have different fixed charges compared to commercial and industrial connections. The charges also increase with higher sanctioned loads.
How to check meter readings accurately for KSEB bill calculation?
To check KSEB meter readings: 1) Note down current month reading, 2) Subtract previous month reading, 3) The difference is your consumption in units (kWh). For digital meters, press the display button to cycle through readings. For analog meters, read from left to right, noting the last passed number on each dial.
What is the difference between energy charges and fixed charges in KSEB?
Energy charges in KSEB are variable costs based on actual electricity consumption calculated using tariff slabs. Fixed charges are monthly recurring charges based on sanctioned load that you pay regardless of consumption. Total bill = Energy charges + Fixed charges + Taxes.
How does KSEB slab-wise billing calculation work?
KSEB uses progressive slab billing where different rates apply to different consumption ranges. For example: First 50 units at ₹3.30/unit, next 50 units (51-100) at ₹4.20/unit, and so on. Each slab is calculated separately and then totaled for the final energy charge.
Are there any additional charges in KSEB electricity bills?
Yes, KSEB bills include additional charges like Electricity Duty (varies by consumption), Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA), and sometimes surcharges. These are added to the base energy and fixed charges to arrive at the total bill amount.
