Jaipur Discom has decided that it will start accepting electricity bills above Rs20,000 by cheque and DD again.
In a recent order issued by the managing director of Jaipur Discom, AK Gupta, it has been decided that except large industrial consumers of all other categories can now pay their electricity bills which are more than Rs20,000 and it will accept cheque and demand draft. This has been done seeing problems being faced by consumers using the online or digital modes of making payments.
Recently Jaipur discom has started the monthly billing system in Jaipur city circle. It is now expected that the bill amount will be less as now the billing will be done every month, therefore there will be less consumers who may get such higher bills in domestic category.
Such consumers can now pay the amount through cheque or DD. Otherwise these days many consumer prefer making payment through Bijli Mitra App.
Earlier in the moth of July last year, Jaipur discom had decided that it would accept higher electricity bills from all its consumers except agriculture consumers through online mode to promote growth of digital payments.
It was informed that payments can be made by various mode of online payments like debit cards, credit cards, rupay cards, net banking, cash card, prepaid card, wallets, NEFT/RTGS.
The electricity company won’t be accepting payment through cheques or demand drafts said the order issued in July.
Even the collection agencies like emitra, Data Infosys and sub-divisional cashier were also informed about this and they were asked not to accept offline payments for the amount more than Rs 20,000.
Incentive Scheme
- Discom already has a incentive scheme for consumers to promote digital payment. It selects 100 consumers who have paid their electricity bills online and they are given
- Rs 5000 or the actual bill amount, whichever is less, and this is adjusted in their bills. A similar scheme a few weeks back was also started for industrial consumers.
