State Electricity Regulator: BERC Ruling On Ombudsman Order Compliance

Electricity consumers, distribution utilities and regulatory professionals can review a Bihar billing decision relevant to State electricity regulator proceedings.
Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission disposed of Case No. 31/2026 involving Ranjeet Kumar Choudhary and an alleged failure to implement an Electricity Ombudsman order.
The State electricity regulator examined the respondent's correction sheet and revised electricity bill.
The State electricity regulator found that the delayed-payment surcharge identified in the Ombudsman's direction had been removed.
The consumer acknowledged receiving the revised bill but continued to question its calculation.
The Commission concluded that disagreement over the amount, without evidence of violation of the specific direction, did not justify proceedings under Section 142 of the Electricity Act.
The order was issued on 2 November 2026.
