Amritsar: Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann announced a new electricity bill scheme, launching a one-time settlement scheme for domestic consumers. Domestic consumers have outstanding bills until March 31, 2026. Many of them did not pay their bills, resulting in penalties and interest.
He stated that this has resulted in a significant amount of debt. He stated that the penalty and interest are waived. Only the principal amount will be repaid. The scheme will be valid for 45 days.
The CM stated that 25% of the amount will be required initially. The remaining 75% will be paid in two installments of six months each. This scheme will benefit 2.486 million domestic consumers.
He stated that the total outstanding amount is 2516 crore rupees, and 518 crore rupees will be waived. The notification will be launched tomorrow. People will not need to search anywhere. OTS bills will be sent to their homes.
The CM stated that everyone, whether in the village or in the city, will benefit from this. Up to 600 units have already been waived. Those with outstanding balances beyond that will benefit.
Regarding the ticket cancellation, the CM said that no one is particularly upset. It’s just human nature, and it happens.
