The exact amount charged in the electricity bill was Rs. 23,67,71,524
If you live alone or hold the responsibility of paying the electricity bill monthly, then you would know that it is a difficult task which none of us look forward too.
And if by chance the bill is more than what you usually get, then it is another nightmare that follows. But have you ever received such a huge amount as a bill that it literally gave you a mini heart attack?
Something similar happened with this UP man recently, when he received an electricity bill of over Rs 23 crore. He literally got the shock of his life.
The man, Abdul Basit, who hails from Kannauj has a connection of 2 kilowatts at his house. The bill stated he had just consumed 178 units, which according to rates per unit in Uttar Pradesh, approximately comes between Rs 960 to Rs 1,070. He had to run around and ask officials to solve his problem.
The exact amount charged from his was Rs 23,67,71,524. He told ANI, "It seems like I've received the entire bill of Uttar Pradesh. Even if I earn money for my entire life, I'll still be unable to pay this exorbitant amount."
After the bill was investigated it was found that it was due to some anomalies such a huge amount was generated. Thankfully, the amount will be charged from him only after the bill gets rectified.
And engineer said, "It would be changed and meter reading will be taken again. Only after a bill is found correct, the consumer will be asked to pay for it."
