Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is electricity free in Delhi?

Yes, if your monthly consumption is 200 units or less, you get a 100% subsidy on energy charges, making your net energy bill zero.

How is the fixed demand charge calculated?

For residential connections, the fixed capacity charge is based on your sanctioned load (in kW). It is calculated by multiplying your load by the DISCOM's monthly rate per kW (ranging from Rs. 20 to Rs. 145 depending on the state). It remains constant regardless of whether you consume any electricity.

What is a telescopic slab rate, and how does it affect my bill?

A telescopic slab structure means your consumption is divided into blocks (e.g., 0–100 units, 101–200 units), with each block billed at a different per-unit tariff. Consuming even 1 unit above a slab threshold can push you into a higher rate band, causing your bill to increase.

Are there any hidden taxes or duties on my electricity bill?

Yes, state governments levy an electricity duty (tax) ranging from 5% to 16% on your total energy and fixed charges. Additionally, municipal taxes, green energy cesses, and variable surcharges like FPPCA are added to the final amount.

What is FPPCA on my bill, and why does it change?

Fuel Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) is a variable surcharge representing fluctuations in fuel (coal/gas) prices and power purchase costs. It is updated quarterly or monthly by state regulators and typically ranges from 10 paise to 80 paise per unit.

How does installing a rooftop solar panel reduce my DISCOM bill?

Rooftop solar exports power back to the grid under net-metering. Your monthly units are offset by the solar export units. If your 3 kW solar system exports 300 units and you consume 300 units, your net consumption is 0 units, leaving you with only basic fixed charges.

What is the difference between single phase and three phase supply?

Single phase supply is standard for loads up to 5 kW (small homes), while three phase supply is required for larger loads (above 5 kW) to balance heavy appliances like ACs and water pumps. Fixed capacity charges are significantly higher for three phase connections.

What Does This Calculator Do?

This tool estimates domestic electricity bills in Delhi for BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, and TPDDL consumers, incorporating the Delhi government's subsidy schemes.

How to Use It

  1. Units Consumed: Enter monthly units.
  2. DISCOM: Select BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, or Tata Power DDL.
  3. Subsidy Scheme: Choose if you want to apply the Delhi government subsidy (100% free up to 200 units; 50% subsidy up to 400 units).

The Logic Explained Simply

  • The Concept: Delhi has one of the most generous solar and power subsidies in India. Connections consuming up to 200 units are billed ₹0, while those consuming 201-400 units get a 50% discount on energy charges (up to ₹800 max).
  • The Formula:
  • Slab rates:
  • 0-200 units: ₹3.00/unit
  • 201-400 units: ₹4.50/unit
  • 401-800 units: ₹6.50/unit
  • 800-1200 units: ₹7.00/unit
  • 1200+ units: ₹8.00/unit
  • Fixed charges: Connected load-based.
  • Surcharges: 8% Pension Trust Surcharge, 3.8% PPAC (Power Purchase Adjustment Cost).

Real-World Calculation Breakdown

If you consume 150 units in Delhi and opt for the subsidy:

  1. Gross Slabs: 150 × ₹3.00 = ₹450
  2. Delhi Subsidy: Because units are ≤ 200, the energy charge is fully subsidized. Energy Charge = ₹0.
  3. Fixed Charge: ₹20 for 1 kW load.
  4. Surcharges (Pension 8% + PPAC 3.8% = 11.8%): ₹20 × 11.8% = ₹2.36.
  5. Total Delhi Bill: ₹20 + ₹2.36 = ₹22.36.
