A man in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district was left in shock when he received an electricity bill of about Rs two billion.<\/p>\n
Lalit Dhiman, a businessman in Beherwin Jattan village, received a bill amount of Rs 2,10,42,08,405 for December 2024.<\/p>\n
Mr Dhiman had paid just Rs 2,500 a month earlier.<\/p>\n
He then went to the electricity board office and complained about it.<\/p>\n
The officials told him that he received a high electricity bill due to a technical glitch. His bill was later reportedly rectified and brought down to Rs 4,047.<\/p>\n
Last year, a tailor in Gujarat’s Valsad received an electricity bill<\/a> that exceeded his shop’s property value. Muslim Ansari, who ran the shop with his uncle, had received a bill amount of Rs 86 lakh.<\/p>\n After Mr Ansari flagged his massive bill, officials from the discom rushed to his shop and examined the meter. What they found was that two digits — 10 — had been mistakenly added to the meter reading and this led to the huge bill amount.<\/p>\n \u200bLalit Dhiman, a businessman in Beherwin Jattan village, received a bill amount of Rs 2,10,42,08,405 for December 2024.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A man in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district was left in shock when he received an electricity bill of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":21181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6.jpeg",1200,738,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-300x185.jpeg",300,185,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-768x472.jpeg",640,393,true],"large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-1024x630.jpeg",640,394,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6.jpeg",1200,738,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6.jpeg",1200,738,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-825x575.jpeg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/s26f9lcg_electricity-bill_625x300_10_January_25-dqvFO6-590x410.jpeg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?author=0"},"category_info":"Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
