Dear Sir,
I am Sulakshana Maitra, a resident of B2- 501, Nagras Estate, New D.P Road, Aundh, Pune- 411007. I have been a resident of this flat since 1st May and am staying here till date. I am an MBA student staying in this flat as a tenant along with 6 other female students.
This mail is with regards to the meter reading of our flat. From the past month, our electricity bill has been coming exorbitantly high compared to the previous bills we had paid. On an average till the 23rd of August, our bill had been coming as Rs. 800 to Rs. 900. The bill for the month of July- August was of Rs. 1210/- which seemed extremely high for us. Just for your reference, below mentioned are the electricity appliances we use:
1. 5 ceiling fans out of which we use 4 for more than 16 hours.
2. 5 tube lights of the same usage as above.
3. 2 instant geysers that are used for 2 hours at the max.
4. 7 laptops that we charge for an average of 5 to 6 hours.
5. 1 electric kettle that is used for a few max. 5 minutes per daily
6. 2 internet modems used for max. 5 hours daily
7. Small home appliances such as hair dryers and chargers which is used rarely.
These electric appliances had been used by us since the date of our stay here in this flat, and as mentioned earlier, the maximum bill amount was Rs. 1210/-. However the last month that is from 23th August to 24th September our bill amount suddenly rose to Rs. 2480/-. We understand that the unit price has increased. However, I don’t think that it has increased to such a great deal that our bill would rise so high. This is of the period when the Swine Flu break was on. Therefore sir, please understand how can we receive such a high amount?
Please understand the fact that sir, we are students and we cannot afford to pay such high amounts. The MSEB officials of the office near our place is not supportive and deny the fact that there can be some fault with our meter. From 27th of September till today, that is the 9th of November, the units consumed, as per some of the engineers who visited us, is 456 units. The next bill that is due, will also have our vacation period of 1 week.
It is our humble request sir, that please help us in this matter. I do not feel anyone apart from you is the right person to hear our concern. Please understand that we are students and we also get limited money from home, and if we have to pay almost Rs. 500/- for electricity bill, it becomes very difficult for us.
I hope you will atleast hear our concern and help us on this. Waiting for a positive response.
