Why is there debt on my meter?
- Debt on a meter can occur for several reasons.
- The cost for the units on a newly installed meter is paid by the customer (as debt) on
their first recharge of the meter.
- Migration of Previous Debt: If the property used an analog meter before the installation
of a Prepaid meter, or using the estimated billing (Post Paid) and there was a debt
before the installation of the prepaid meter, the debt on the estimated (Postpaid)
billing account is migrated to the Prepaid meter account.
- Penalties: If there was a bypass or illegal connection discovered in the house, the
penalty charge is added as debt to the prepaid meter account.
- Kindly visit your nearest electricity distribution company office to discuss your debt
profile.
