Whenever you notice your monthly electricity bill is more when compared to your regular consumption, then first analyze whether the bill amount matches your actual electricity consumption or not. The best way to check that is to compare your previous electricity bills (or) you can also check in a mobile app related to your state’s electricity board.
If the bill amount doesn’t match with your consumption or if your consumption is not accurate then you have to file a complaint to your area’s electricity department.
Nowadays almost every electricity department is taking complaints online or through mobile. But still in some cases you need to write a complaint letter.
Here you can find sample complaint letters to the electricity department.
