BSEB Bill Calculator

Our BSEB bill calculator uses the latest 2025 tariff rates and follows the official Bihar State Electricity Board billing methodology. The calculations include all applicable charges like fixed charges, fuel surcharge, electricity duty, and rebates. While highly accurate, actual bills may vary slightly due to specific local charges or policy updates.

BSEB offers four main connection types: Domestic (for residential use), Commercial (for shops and offices), Industrial (for manufacturing units), and Agricultural (for farming activities). Each category has different tariff rates and fixed charges. Domestic connections also have slab-wise pricing for different consumption levels.

You can reduce your BSEB bill by: switching to LED bulbs (85% energy savings), using BLDC ceiling fans (50% less consumption), setting AC temperature to 24-26°C, installing solar water heaters, unplugging idle appliances, using timer switches, and choosing Energy Star rated appliances. These measures can save ₹2,000-7,000 per month.

Fuel surcharge is 3% of your total bill amount (energy charges + fixed charges) levied by BSEB to recover fluctuating fuel costs for power generation. This charge is automatically calculated and added to all consumer categories to offset the rising costs of coal, gas, and other fuels used in power plants.

Yes, BSEB provides a 2% rebate on the total bill amount for domestic consumers who consume 200 units or less per month and pay their bills on time. This rebate is automatically applied when you pay before the due date and helps encourage energy conservation and timely payments.

Single-phase connections are suitable for homes with load up to 5 kW, while three-phase connections are for higher loads (above 5 kW) or commercial/industrial use. Three-phase connections have higher fixed charges but provide better power distribution for heavy appliances like AC units, motors, and industrial equipment.

Electricity duty is charged at 6% of the total bill amount (energy charges + fixed charges) by the Bihar state government. This is a state tax collected by BSEB on behalf of the government and is applicable to all consumer categories. The duty is calculated before applying any rebates.

Yes, you can change your BSEB connection type by submitting an application with required documents to your local BSEB office. However, switching from domestic to commercial or industrial requires meeting specific criteria and may involve additional charges. The process typically takes 15-30 days for approval and implementation.

While BSEB doesn't have time-of-day pricing for most domestic consumers, peak consumption typically occurs during 6-10 PM when everyone uses lights, fans, and appliances simultaneously. Using heavy appliances during off-peak hours (late night or early morning) can help reduce load on the grid and potentially qualify for future time-based tariff benefits.

You can check your actual BSEB bill online by visiting the official BSEB website, entering your consumer number or mobile number, and viewing your current and past bills. You can also download the BSEB mobile app for convenient bill checking, payment, and complaint registration. Online bill viewing is available 24/7 for all registered consumers.
