People in Mumbai and other areas have been complaining about the sudden spike in their electricity bills. The electricity companies in their defence have shared that due to the lockdown, meter reading could not take place. The bills that they have got now are based on the actual consumption in the lockdown months from March to July.
The coronavirus pandemic has also hit the economy hard. Many people have lost their jobs or have received pay cut and the inflated electricity bill is only adding to their woes.
Amidst all of this, it is the consumers that are facing problems with no confirmation on when everything will get back to normal the electricity bills added more pressure on people.
