When APTS conducted inspection of the connection on 11th March 2019 and found that billing of this College was done under wrong tariff and a short assessment bill raised for Rs.83,045/- with penalty, which has been paid. 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 consumer was ready to pay the principal amount and not the surcharge as there is no delay / fault from the consumer for making the payment.

The Ombudsman ordered that the consumer is not liable to pay the interest for the arrear amount and the consumer has to pay the principal amount without delay.
