i. For connected load based tariff
1. The consumers, except the domestic (LV-1) consumers, availing supply at
connected load based tariff shall restrict their actual connected load within
the contracted load. However, in case the actual connected load in any
month exceeds the contracted load, the connected load based tariff shall
apply only to the extent of contracted load and corresponding units of
energy. The connected load in excess of contracted load and corresponding
units of energy shall be treated as excess supply. The excess supply so
consumed in any month, shall be charged at the rate of one and half times
of the connected load based tariff applicable to the consumer (fixed and
energy charges and VCA charges) for the excess connected load to the
extent of 20% of contracted load and at the rate of two times of connected
load based tariff if the excess connected load is found beyond 20% of
 contracted load for actual period of enhancement of load or 6 months
whichever is less, including the month in which the existence of excess
load is detected and shall be continued to be billed till excess load is
removed or contract load is enhanced.
2. Where the recording facility of demand is available, the billing on account
of excess supply shall be restricted to the recorded month only.

ii. For Demand Based tariff consumers

Consumers availing supply at demand based tariff (LV-2.2/LV-4.2/LV- 5.3)
should at all times restrict their maximum demand to the contract demand.
However, contract demand for the demand based tariff consumer can be less than
connected load. In case the maximum demand in any month exceeds the contract
demand, the said demand based tariff (LV–2.2/LV-4.2/LV- 5.3) shall apply only
to the extent of the contract demand and corresponding units of energy. The
demand in excess of contract demand and corresponding units of energy shall be
treated as excess supply. The excess supply so availed in any month, shall be
charged at the rate of one and half times of the normal tariff applicable to the
consumer (fixed and energy charges and VCA charges) for the excess demand to
the extent of 20% of contract demand and at the rate of two times of normal tariff
if the excess demand is found beyond 20% of contract demand.

For the purpose of billing of excess supply, the billing demand and the units of
energy shall be determined as under:

a) Billing Demand: The demand in excess of the contract demand in any month
shall be the billing demand.

b) Units of Energy: the units of energy corresponding to kW portion of the

demand in excess of the contract demand shall be:-
EU= TU (1-CD/MD)
Where
EU – denotes excess units;
TU – denotes total units supplied during the month;
CD – denotes contract demand, and
MD – denotes actual maximum demand.
I. The excess supply availed in any month shall be charged along with the
monthly bill and shall be payable accordingly.
II. The above billing of excess supply at one and half times/two times of the
normal tariff shall be applicable to consumers without prejudice to CSPDCL’s
 right to discontinue supply in accordance with the provisions contained in the
Chhattisgarh State Electricity Supply Code, 2011, as amended from time to
time.

1. Delayed Payment Surcharge

If the bill is not paid by the consumer within the period (due date) prescribed
for payment of the bill, a surcharge @ 1.5% per month or part thereof, on the
total outstanding amount of the bill (including arrears, if any, but excluding
amount of surcharge), subject to minimum of Rs. 5 shall be payable in
addition, from the due date of payment as mentioned in the bill.

2. Additional Charges
Every Local Body shall pay an additional charge equivalent to any tax or fee
levied by it under the provisions of any law including the Corporation Act,
District Municipalities Act or Gram Panchayat Act on the poles, lines,
transformers and other installations through which the Local Body receives
supply.

3. Advance Payment Rebate

For advance payment made before commencement of consumption period for
which bill is to be prepared, a rebate @ 0.5% per month on the amount which
remains with the Licensee at the end of the calendar month excluding security
deposit, shall be credited to the account of consumer after adjusting any
amount payable to the Licensee subject to the net amount of advance being not
less than Rs.1000 and shall be adjustable in next month’s bill.

4. Rounding off
The bill shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of Rs.10. Difference, if
any, between the bill amount before and after rounding off, shall be adjusted
in next month’s bill.
For example: - If the total amount of bill is Rs. 235.00, then the bill shall be
rounded off to Rs. 240 and Rs. 5.00 will be credited in next month’s bill,
whereas if the total amount of bill is Rs. 234.95, then the bill will be rounded
off to Rs. 230 and Rs. 4.95 will be debited in next month’s bill. In view of the
above provision, no surcharge will be levied on outstanding amount, which is
less than Rs. 10.
 5. Applicability of tariff
In case of any dispute about applicability of tariff to a particular LV category,
the decision of the Commission shall be final and binding.

time of use.

1.2.12 Terms and Conditions of HV Tariff

The maximum and minimum contract demand for different supply voltages is
governed as per provisions of the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Supply Code, 2011
and its amendments thereof. Presently, the minimum and maximum permissible load
at respective supply voltage are as below:

Supply Voltage Minimum Maximum

11 kV 60 kVA 500 kVA
33 kV 60 kVA 15 MVA
132 kV 4 MVA 40 MVA
220 kV 15 MVA 150 MVA

Deviation in contract demand, if any, in respect of the above provisions on account of

technical reasons, may be permitted with the approval of the Commission and billing
shall be done accordingly. The HV consumers having contract demand exceeding the
maximum limit mentioned above for respective voltage of supply shall be billed as
specified at Clause 7 of Terms and Conditions of HV Tariff.

Point of Supply
Power will be supplied to consumers ordinarily at a single point for the entire
premises. In certain categories like coal mines, power may be supplied at more than
one point on the request of consumer subject to technical feasibility. HV industrial
consumers can avail separate LV supply as per Clause 4.40 of the Chhattisgarh State
Electricity Supply Code, 2011 and its amendments thereof, in the same premises.

Billing demand
The billing demand for the month shall be the maximum demand (in kVA) of the
consumer recorded during the billing month or 75% of the contract demand or 60
kVA, whichever is higher, except for the consumers who have reduced their contract
demand to zero. The billing demand shall be rounded off to the next whole number.

Determination of Demand
The maximum demand means the highest load measured by sliding window principle
of measurement in average kVA at the point of supply of a consumer during any
consecutive period of 15 minutes during the billing period.
1. Minimum Charge
The demand charge on contract demand (CD) is a monthly minimum charge whether
any energy is consumed during the month or not.

2. Rounding off
The amount of HV energy bill shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of Rs.10.
For example - the amount of Rs. 12345 will be rounded off to Rs. 12350 and Rs.
12344.95 shall be rounded off to Rs. 12340.
In view of the above provision no surcharge will be levied on outstanding amount,
which is less than Rs. 10.

3. Delayed Payment Surcharge

If the bill is not paid by the consumer within the period prescribed (due date) for
payment of the bill, a surcharge @ 1.5% per month or part thereof, on the total
outstanding amount of the bill (including arrears, if any but excluding amount of
surcharge), shall be payable in addition, from the due date of payment as mentioned in
the bill.

4. Additional charges for Local Bodies

Every Local Body shall pay an additional charge equivalent to any tax or fee levied
by it under the provisions of any law including the Corporation Act, District
Municipalities Act or Gram Panchayat Act on the poles, lines, transformers and other
installations through which the Local Body receives supply.

5. Advance Payment Rebate

For advance payment made before commencement of consumption period for which
bill is to be prepared, a rebate @ 0.5% per month on the amount, which remains with
the Licensee at the end of calendar month excluding security deposit, shall be credited
to the account of consumer after adjusting any amount payable to the Licensee,
subject to the net amount of advance being not less than Rs.20,000 and shall be
adjustable in next month’s bill.

6. Additional Charge for Exceeding Contract Demand

The consumers should restrict their maximum demand to the extent of contract
demand. In case the maximum demand during any month exceeds the contract
demand, the tariff at normal rate shall apply only to the extent of the contract demand
and corresponding units of energy. The demand in excess of contract demand and
corresponding units of energy shall be treated as excess supply. The excess supply so
availed, if any, in any month shall be charged at one and half times of the normal
tariff applicable to the consumer (demand and energy charges) for the excess demand
to the extent of 20% of contract demand and at the rate of two times of normal tariff if
the excess demand is found beyond 20% of contract demand.

Provided that in all categories where TOD is applicable:

i. During Off-Peak Hours, no additional charge will be levied on exceeding
Contract Demand up to a maximum limit of 20%.
ii. Beyond 120% of contract demand, excess supply will be billed as per prescribed
formula.
iii. Provided that maximum recorded demand during off peak load hours period will
not be considered for the purpose of demand charges billing, i.e., demand
charges will be levied on maximum recorded demand during normal and peak
load hours.

For the purpose of billing of excess supply, the billing demand and the units of
energy shall be determined as under:-

i. Billing Demand / Contract Demand:

The demand in excess of the contract demand in any month shall be the billing
demand/ contract demand of the excess supply.

ii. Units Energy:

The units of energy corresponding to kVA of the portion of the demand in excess of
the contract demand shall be:
EU= TU (1-CD/MD)
Where
EU - denotes units corresponding to excess supply;
TU - denotes total units supplied during the month;
CD - denotes contract demand; and
MD - denotes maximum demand.

The excess supply availed in any month shall be charged along with the monthly bill
and shall be payable by the consumer.

The billing of excess supply at one and half times/two times of the normal tariff
applicable to consumer is without prejudice to CSPDCL’s right to discontinue the
supply in accordance with the provisions contained in the Chhattisgarh State
Electricity Supply Code, 2011 and its amendments thereof.

iii. No rebates/incentive is payable on such excess supply.

7. Additional Charge
The HV consumers having contract demand exceeding the maximum limit as
prescribed in Clause 1 of terms and conditions of HV tariff shall be levied additional
charges at the rate of 5% on Energy Charges of the respective consumer category.

categories of HV consumers.

9. Tax or Duty
The tariff does not include any tax or duty, etc., on electrical energy that may be
payable at any time in accordance with any law/State Government Rules in force.
Such charges, if any, shall be payable by the consumer in addition to tariff charges.

10. Variable Cost Adjustment (VCA) charge

VCA charge on consumption from April 1, 2018 as per the formula and conditions
specified in the CSERC MYT Regulations, 2015 shall be levied in addition to energy
charge on all the HV categories including temporary supply.
However, from the date of applicability of this Order, the base values for computation
of VCA for succeeding period shall be revised in accordance to this Order.

11. Dispute on applicability of tariff

In case of any dispute on applicability of tariff on a particular category of HV
industry/ consumer, the decision of the Commission shall be final and binding.
All the above conditions of tariff shall be applicable to the consumer notwithstanding
the provisions, if any, in the agreement entered into by the consumer with the
Licensee.
