from 51-100, Rs 2.6 per unit. From 101-200, Rs 4.3 per unit, Rs5.2 but start from unit 31 itself
from 201-300 Rs 7.2 per unit,
from 301-400 Rs 8.5,
from 401-800 Rs 9 and above 800 units, Rs 9.5 per unit is charged
It is very clear how costly the electricity in Karnataka
KARNATAKA Cheif minister is requested to cut down the electricity charges as we are unable to get the cost of petrol reduced.Atleast some reduction would definitely help majority people.
In bangalore current(ly) the energy charge is as follows
50 units 4.15 rs
50 units 5.6 rs
100 units 7.15 rs
>100 units 8.2 rs
Apart from Fac @0.31 ps
FA1 Kw rs 100/ 2Kw 110 rs
Calculate the 😡
For consumed units 100 and above, charges of 7 rupees per unit cost not seen any where as this is a new rule added. Karnataka chief Minister has to reduce the electricity charges to help the people.
If this is the situation of electricity bill.then this will be the last term of Congress in Karnataka
They have cheated by telling 200 unites free. it just eye wash there is no free.
in fact they increased the rate from 4.75 to 7 Rs. which is near double.
So the result of 2024 election is seen
Good luck.
