Tamil Nadu follows bi-monthly billing under TNERC Order No. 6. Domestic consumers receive 200 free units if bi-monthly usage is ≤ 500 units (saving ₹990), or 100 free units if usage exceeds 500 units. Base slabs are ₹4.95 (0–400u), ₹6.65 (401–500u), ₹8.80 (501–600u), and up to ₹12.15 (>600u). Fixed meter charges remain completely exempt for residential users.
Under the KERC Multi-Year Tariff Order, domestic LT-IA consumers in Karnataka have a simplified single-tier energy rate of ₹5.80 per unit, alongside monthly fixed charges of ₹150 per kW. Under the flagship Gruha Jyothi Scheme, eligible domestic households consuming up to their entitled quota (up to 200 units) receive 100% free electricity.
MERC mandates strict telescopic slabs for residential power. Units 0–100 are charged at ₹3.96, units 101–300 jump to ₹10.80, and units above 500 reach ₹17.53 per unit. In addition to base energy charges, single-phase meters carry ₹130/month (three-phase ₹435/month) fixed charges plus a flat wheeling charge of ₹1.60/unit, and 16% electricity duty is levied on net energy plus fuel adjustment charges.
Delhi domestic consumers benefit from DERC regulated slabs starting at ₹3.00 (0–200 units) and ₹4.50 (201–400 units). Under the Delhi Government Power Subsidy Scheme, residential consumers using up to 200 units pay zero bill (100% subsidy), while those consuming 201–400 units receive a 50% subsidy up to a maximum cap of ₹800.
Under PSERC Petition 61, base residential domestic rates start at ₹3.85/unit for the initial 300 units (for connections ≤ 2 kW) and ₹7.05 for units above 300. The Government of Punjab provides 300 units of free electricity per month (600 units on bi-monthly bills) to domestic consumers meeting state subsidy norms.
Kerala operates a hybrid telescopic model. For consumers using up to 250 units monthly, telescopic slabs apply from ₹3.35 (0–50) to ₹8.50 (201–250). However, once consumption exceeds 250 units, non-telescopic flat rates apply to the entire consumption from ₹6.75 to ₹9.20 per unit. BPL households using ≤ 40 units enjoy ₹1.50/unit lifeline power.
Unlike fixed-rate utilities, Indian DISCOMs compute power charges based on multi-component regulated tariff orders.
Units consumed are split across progressive slab tiers, rewarding lower consumption with subsidized baseline rates.
Mandatory monthly or bi-monthly connection fees assessed on sanctioned load (kW/kVA) regardless of usage.
Statutory state taxes (5% to 16%), regulatory surcharges, and local municipal power cess.
Free lifeline units (e.g. Tamil Nadu 200u free, Delhi subsidy, Punjab 300u) automatically credited before final net bill.
