Then another short assessment amount has been worked out to Rs.5,98,088/- and then corrected to Rs.5,55,904/-, which was raised on 09-09-2022. The principal amount of the short assessment is Rs.2,01,632.70 and the surcharge is Rs.3,54,271.29.

The circular of KSEBL dated 29-02-2020 also states that the consumers for whom arrears were there, which are to be recovered with interest. the appellant filed the appeal petition to this Authority and the decision is taken as follows: (1) There is no justification to revise the original order issued vide No. P-059/2022. (2) The review petition is dismissed. |
