Shimla, May 14

Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited has come up with an innovative trust-based billing system for its domestic and commercial consumers with a load up to 20kw. As per this system, the customers will themselves take the reading from their meter and generate their bill by entering the reading on HPSEBL’s official website www.hpseb.in.

“HPSEBL is encouraging contactless facilities from bill generation to bill payment to its consumers during this difficult time of Covid-19,” said Additional Chief Secretary (Power) Ram Subhag Singh here today.

He said the bills could be paid online through various online options. “The consumer whose bill has been already generated for the month will not be able use this facility this month, but can avail it from the next month,” he said.

HPSEBL employees have been demanding the status of frontline workers as they are out in the field to ensure uninterrupted power supply. The government, however, has not acceded to their demand yet. The employees also regretted the fact that they have not been given priority for vaccination like bus drivers, conductors and depot holders.
