False Billing

Location/place: Howrah,West Bengal

Name of company/service: West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd.

Myself Pritam Naskar, a permanent dweller of Howrah,West Bengal. I have a electric meter on the name of my uncle Mr. Sankar Naskar which meter no was 327507.Last 12th July of 2012 that meter was destroyed by the stroke of lightning and on that day I have informed the above said company about the matter that my meter is not showing any reading and it is totally destroyed. They have told me that you have to pay for two average billing of electricity. And on October 2012 they send me a average billing of Rs. 1114.00 that I have already paid on 10/12/12 and on November 2012 they have send another average billing of Rs. 8016.00. According to me it is just a fraud.I have never got a bill of above Rs 1000 from April 2003 to till September 2012 when my meter was in good condition. They have replaced my meter which meter no is B1789822 on 28/12/12.And till now on 9th March 2013 It is showing that I have only consumed 124 units. They are saying that I have to paid this money though my meter was damaged. So I am making a compliant on the above said company that they are fraud. And I want a relief of this false billing.
