 P/014/2017 The Secretary Thrikkakkara Municipal Co-operative Hospital Society Ltd., Kakkanad  |
||||||||||||
| The appellant is the Secretary of the Thrikkakkara Municipal Co-operative Hospital Society Ltd. No. 993, Kakkanad and the institution is registered under the Co-operative Society Act. The hospital had two service connections with consumer Nos. 41016 and 41017 availed on 24-12-2012 having a connected load of 9 kW and 7 kW respectively. The tariff assigned at the time of connection was LT-VI A. It is alleged that during the inspection conducted by the Audit Wing of KSEB Limited it was detected that the tariff was wrongly assigned to LT VI A instead of LT VI F. The appellant had been enjoying the concessional tariff under LT VI A, which is eligible only to those consumers registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, the donation to which are exempted from income tax, vide tariff order dated 25-07-2012. So, the appellant was issued with short assessment bills for Rs. 54,413.00 and Rs. 92,980.00 to recover the undercharged amount due to wrong fixation of tariff to consumer Nos. 41016 and 41017 respectively for the period from 12/12 to 06/2015. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached with a petition before CGRF (Central), Ernakulam which was dismissed by the Forum vide order No. 92/2016-17 dated 29-12-2016. Not satisfied with the above decision, the appellant has filed this appeal petition before this Authority with a request to set aside the short assessment bills and to retain the tariff under LT VI A. Considering the above facts and legal provisions pertaining to the issue this Authority is of the considered view that the appellant’s premises are not eligible for LT VI A tariff. So, the appeal petition stands dismissed as it is found having no merits. However, it is made clear that the period of short assessment shall be limited for a maximum period of 24 months as per Regulation 152(3) of Supply Code, 2014. Installment facility, if any, requested by the appellant shall be sanctioned as per Regulation 152(4). The order of CGRF in No. 92/2016-17 dated 29-12-2016 is modified to the extent as ordered above. No order as to costs. |
