Fine, but why would the EB maintains the billing cycle as 2 months? The benefit of the progressive taxing slab works out to Rs 1525 (3.75 x 200 + 2.75 x 300) for the lower slab rates w.r.t the maximum marginal rates. Why should the public suffer for the ineffecient / corrupt and sick EB staff?
just imagine what happens if they skip to mark the meter reading for a genuine reason – door closed at the time of marking.. the combined bill would be at the fully multiplied at the maximum marginal rates and the bill would be near Rs. 10,000. Now isnt that a loot?
When Devil reins in power, eating corpses would be legitimate. Its time the public catch hold of the corrupt EB staff and strip them off their jobs and bring them to the streets
Sir,
The corruption is not only in TNEB, but also in each & every Department.
