In the thread published under the above topic it has been repeatedly said that when the meter reader comes late the amount of bill is unnecessarily increased.
This is only true when you do not consume electricity at the average rate at which you have consumed electricity in the previous days, within the number of days the meter reader is late.
For Example assume you can consumed 90 units in 30 days then your bill will be Rs. 546.00
Here you have consumed electricity at the rate of 3 units per day.
Now if the meter reader comes on 31st day and you have consumed electricity at the same average rate then you have consumed 93 units in 31 days and your bill will be Rs. 561.
Now if we look at the average bill per day
90 units in 30 days
546/30 = 18.2000 Rs per day
93 units in 31 days
561/31 = 18.0967 Rs per day
Now what do you think of the result.
When the meter reader is late and you consume at the same average rate in the additional days you are paying less per day.
So if meter reader is late it is good for the consumer...
Lets take another case
120 units in 30 days, bill is Rs. 1396.75
1396.75/30 = 46.5583 Rs per day
124 units in 31 days, bill is Rs. 1437.25
1437.25/31 = 46.3629 Rs per day
Currently I am at work so I will give you more details later...
