Due to the lockdown in Maharashtra, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) on Tuesday, April 27, said it will not be able to take the electricity meter reading in many areas.
Hence, the company released a statement and said that the consumers can send their meter reading to the power utility on their own.
In a statement issued for areas that have been declared as containment zones, the MSEDCL said the consumers will get four days time every month to submit their readings.
MSEDCL has appealed to the consumers to send their meter readings on the utility’s mobile app or on the website.
After the Centralised Billing System initiated by the MSEDCL, the LT consumers have been allowed to send their meter reading on a specific day of the month between the 1st to 25th of the month.
The date fixed for meter reading is mentioned on the electricity bills of consumers and the meter number is also mentioned.
On the MSEDCL Mobile app, the consumers can click on the ‘submit meter reading’ button and if they have more than one consumer number, they will have to select the meter number for which they want to submit the reading.
The consumer will have to enter the meter number there. They should click the photo of meter reading only when the screen shows the date-time of reading and the meter reading and kWh (excluding kW or KVA). After that, the consumer has to manually enter the meter reading as per the photo and submit it.
Consumers can directly submit their meter reading by logging in to the mobile app. Only they will have to enter the OTP received on their registered mobile number if they are logging in as a guest. It is mandatory to enter the consumer number, consumer registration and login details for the consumers who want to upload their meter readings through http://www.mahadiscom.in, the statement added.
