JVVNL (Jaipur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd) Jaipur DISCOM
FAULTY METERS - UNJUST AVG CONSUMPTION CALCULATION

I have 2 meters in my house. Since the past 2 years, I'm fed up with faulty meters being fitted by JVVNL, which result in:

a) Immense inconvenience and wastage of time to get it replaced;

b) New meter cost that needs to be paid every time the meter is replaced

c) WORSE - The method of calculation of average electricity consumption for the period the meter was faulty, is V. UNJUST & UNETHICAL, which results in V.HIGH bill based on Average consumption. The method of avg consumption calculation is: Average of last 6 months consumption, or, Consumptino of same period of last year, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER. Now, with this clause "WHICHER IS HIGHER" whenever the meter goes faulty, it is the consumer who'd INVARIABLY pay higher cost, REGARDLESS of the month in which the meter has gone bad.

d) It seems to be the unwritten unfair monopolistic policy of the service provider TO EARN HIGHER REVENUE IN THIS MANNER BY SUPPLYING FAULTY METERS to consumers.

e) This needs to be challenged by way of a PIL in the Hon'ble HC here, which I'll be doing shortly.

If anybody wishes to join hands with me, pls contact me.

Thank you,
