In this article, we will discuss a bill adjustment in an electricity bill. If you find any amount in arrears/age in electricity bill.
What is this amount, and why is it included in your electricity bill? If you’re experiencing this problem, you need to know where it originated. So let’s understand your electricity bill arrears and what they are.
What Is Bill Adjustment In Electricity Bill
Arrears are any outstanding amounts or charges that the electricity company adjusts to your bill.
When you have not paid your previous month’s bill, the electricity company will adjust it (last month’s due charges) in your next month’s bill.
If the last bill is too high or, for some reason, you haven’t paid the bill in full. In this case, all the previous month’s arrears will be included in your next electricity bill.
But the main issue is that when you have paid your last month’s bill in full, you are sure that you will not have to pay any outstanding or due amount. Nevertheless, your bill comes with an arrears amount. You must know what it is for and where it came from.
These arrears/dues arise if you have changed your tariff or load type. In this case, the electricity tariff changes automatically, and the price per unit increases and the bill increases. They may add this amount to your bill as a bill adjustment.
Within arrears, the reason for their increase is the new tariff rate. When the government decides to increase the tariff rates, the electricity supply companies also immediately increase their unit rates.
In this case, we used to go with the old type of tariff for 10 to 15 days. After that, they implemented new tariffs.
So, in this month you are using electricity with two different tariff rates. The supply company billed you with the new tariff, and they didn’t even tell you which unit you used with the old tariff rates. They will also charge the old units with the new tariff rate.
This is why you get arrears on your bill without any due or outstanding amount.
