Yes, electricity charges can fluctuate dramatically even when use is not very different. The final bill is calculated using slab rates, fixed charges, billing period, taxes, subsidies, and other changes.
I had a similar issue and initially compared merely the units. Later, I examined both bills line by line and discovered that the billing period, meter readings and individual fee components were important.
You must check these details:Previous and current meter readings
Number of billing days
Applicable slab rates
Fixed and other charges
Arrears, taxes or adjustments
If Rs. 79.92 for 198.80 units and Rs. 1,514.80 for 288 units appear strange, contact your electricity provider to request a bill calculation review.
