Sridhar Bhat of Kogod near Sirivanthe under Khandika gram panchayat limits was shocked to find an outstanding bill for Rs 80,784. Ironically, he has also successfully registered for the government’s Gruha Jyothi scheme.
The gaffe was revealed when Sridhar Bhat’s son Pawan Kagodu checked the bill online as the bill which was usually received on August 3 of every month was not delivered on time.
Bhat depends on solar electricity for most of his electricity needs and usually gets charged for 30 to 40 units of electricity drawn from the grid. However, the bill for the month of July August 2023 showed the electricity consumption at staggering 9982 units. After a discount of Rs 2994, the net bill was tallied at Rs 80,784.
