An inspection was conducted by the officials of Electrical Section on 16-07-2021 and found that the Current Transformer (CTs) used in the metering system with a ratio of 150/5. As per respondent, the entire metering system with CTs having ratio 100/5 was replaced on 18-07-2019 with a new metering system with CTs having ratio 150/5. But the respondent did not change CT ratio in the billing system and hence, application of Multiplication Factor (MF) was continued as ‘20’ instead of ‘30’. In order to compensate the revenue loss sustained to the Licensee, the respondent had issued a short assessment bill applying Multiplication Factor ‘30’ for Rs.3,25,232/- to the appellant. A hearing was conducted by the respondent and allowed 12 numbers instalments for the remittance of the short-assessed amount. Not satisfied with the decision of the Licensee, the appellant approached the CGRF Kottarakkara and the Forum dismissed the petition, allowing 12 numbers interest free instalments. The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. This Authority upheld the decision taken by the CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No. 56/2021 dated 07-12-2021. |
