| Two numbers of service connections with consumer Nos. 5226 and 5227 were effected in favour of Mar Theodosius Medical Mission Hospital, Poruvazhy under Electrical Section Sasthamkotta, under LT VI A tariff. The connected loads of these connections are 68 kW and 39 kW respectively. The Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) Wing of KSEB Ltd conducted an inspection in the appellant’s premises on 08-11-2016 and detected that the tariff assigned to the appellant was LT VI A tariff instead of the eligible tariff of LT VI F. The appellant had been enjoying the concessional tariff, which is eligible only to those consumers having registration under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, the donation to which are exempted from income tax.
Since the appellant was billed under LT VI A tariff, a short assessment bills dated 15-11-2016 amounting to Rs. 3,19,816/- to consumer number 5226 and Rs. 1,34,758/- to consumer number 5227 were issued towards the undercharged amount due to wrong fixation of tariff. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached with a petition before CGRF (South), Kottarakkara, which was disposed of by the Forum vide order in OP No. 379/2017 dated 22-06-2017 by directing the respondent to change the tariff of the consumer as per the revised tariff order of KSERC dated 17-04-2017 and the petitioner shall remit the amount within one month from the date of receipt of the order and also allowed six monthly instalments without interest. Against the above order, the appellant has filed this appeal petition before this Authority with a request to retain the tariff under LT VI A and to set aside the short assessment bills issued to the institution.
Considering the above facts and legal provisions pertaining to the issue this Authority is of the considered view that the appellant’s premises is not eligible for LT VI A tariff. So, the appeal petition stands dismissed as it is found having no merits. The appellant shall remit the bills within one month from the date of receipt of this order and the respondent shall allow sufficient instalments without interest, if the appellant applies for the same.
The order of CGRF (South), Kottarakkara in OP No. 379/2017 dated 22-06-2017 is upheld. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order as to costs. |
