The electricity supply of such customers will continue without any interruption. However, if the consumer has outstanding bills, then it will be mandatory for them to recharge, so that the adjustment amount of the old dues can be deducted.

Under this scheme, consumers with postpaid meters will also get relief. While preparing the electricity bill, the consumption of 125 units will not be added, that is, if the monthly consumption of the consumer is not more than 125 units, then he will get a zero bill.

1.86 crore consumers will benefit from the government’s new scheme

According to official information released by the power company, the Bihar government has recently announced to provide 100% subsidized electricity to all domestic electricity consumers up to 125 units. This will benefit about 1.86 crore consumers, out of which 1.67 crore consumers are those who consume only up to 125 units of electricity every month.

The new system will also not charge fixed charges, which will save these consumers a single penny. This will bring great relief to poor and middle class families who are worried about electricity costs.

Prepaid meter consumers will get electricity without recharge

Consumers with smart prepaid meters will continue to get electricity even if they do not recharge, provided their consumption is limited to 125 units. This decision is a major step towards making the digital billing process simple and customer-friendly.

Those consuming more than 125 units will still get subsidy.

If a consumer’s monthly consumption is more than 125 units, they will continue to get electricity at the same subsidized rates as before. However, they will have to pay some amount, but that too will be at a very concessional rate.

New rates and subsidies for rural areas

The Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission has fixed a rate of Rs 7.42 per unit for rural consumers. Out of this, the power company is giving a subsidy of Rs 4.97 per unit, due to which consumers will have to pay only Rs 2.15 per unit for consuming more than 125 units of electricity.

Big relief for urban consumers too

Even in urban areas, those consuming up to 125 units will not have to pay bills. Earlier, urban consumers used to pay Rs 4.12 per unit for 1 to 100 units, but now they will get zero bills. If the consumption is more than 125 units, they will have to pay the bill as per the other slab.

Second slab and subsidy available in it

In the second slab, the rate has been fixed at Rs 8.95 per unit. In this, the government will give a subsidy of Rs 3.43 per unit, due to which the consumer will have to pay only Rs 5.52 per unit. In this way, the entire consumer will still get the benefit of huge discounts.
