Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam to credit security deposit interest to power bills of 41 lakh consumers
Gurgaon: The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) will credit around Rs 150 crore in the electricity bills of nearly 41 lakh consumers as a way of paying interests on advance security deposits (ACD) collected by the discom earlier. Advance security deposit is an amount (equal to two average billing cycles) that is charged from consumers at the time of establishing a new power connection or increasing load capacity. DHBVN had collected Rs 2,234 crore from its consumers as advance deposits. In 2022, Haryana's Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) made it mandatory for discoms to review advance deposits collected by consumers. DHBVN then decided to pay consumers interests on these deposits. The interest accrued in a year is supposed to be adjusted in the bills for the customer by the next financial year. But, if the discom fails to do this, the discom will have to pay higher interest – at 18% -- for the delayed time period. "DHBVN has decided to pay interest at the rate of 6.75% per annum on the advance security amount (ACD) deposited by consumers. This Rs 150.8 crore is interest received by all consumers on their security deposits," said A Sreenivas, managing director of DHBVN and secretary of Haryana's energy department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Зачем на ночь сжигают лавровый лист?

Earlier, residents challenged the collection of advance security deposits, alleging that multiple such payments were sought. "We already deposited the security amount to the discom at the time of taking the electricity connection, they again took advance security deposit. Despite all this, we continue to face poor quality of power supply," said Pradeep Sharma, a resident of Sector 45 in Gurgaon. Officials had denied this, saying deposits were taken only during a new connection or for increasing load capacity.

Man on the roads: BJP leader Pradeep Sharma rescues injured during Poonch shelling
POONCH: 'Man on the roads'. This fits with BJP leader and former J&K MLC Pradeep Sharma for being very active and reaching out and rescuing those injured during the recent cross-border shelling from Pakistani troops in the border district of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir. 'For four days, I and my team were on the road. We were visiting the place hit by shells and helping in shifting the injured to the hospitals,' Pradeep told this newspaper. He said when the shelling began on the intervening night of May 6 and 7, he was woken up by his family. 'I could hear the loud explosions. I thought of doing something for the people caught in the crossfire to help them in this distressing situation'. Pradeep decided to reach out to the population through social media. 'I went live on Facebook at 2.25 am and urged people to stay indoors and don't venture out. I told them to move to ground floors and not panic and stay alert,' the BJP leader said. As the cross border shelling was going on, a shell landed in the Forest Department complex in the Poonch town, injuring a forester staying there. 'It was the first shell to land in the town. As the place was close to my residence, I alongwith my brother immediately reached the spot on a scooty and helped in shifting the injured forester to the hospital,' Pradeep said. As the time passed by, more shells landed in different parts of congested Poonch city, damaging houses and causing injuries. 'I went to the Syndicate area of Poonch, where three members of Sikh community were injured in the shelling. I helped to get them shifted to the hospital. In the hospital, one of the injured succumbed to injuries,' Pradeep said.
