20 Oct 08 TNEB - Outrageous plan

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board has come with a plan that sounds simply outrageous. Here is the billing plan

A user can use upto 600 units, on crossing it, he/she will charged 1.5 times the amount of units he/she consumes. Say for e.g if your power consumption is 700 units, your electricity bill will be charged for 700*1.5 = 1050 units. The worst part is, if you consume 601 units, you will be charged for 601+300.5 = 901.5 units!!

The worst part is 4 hours powercut in Suburbs.. Damn!
