The average bill is a usual method of billing in KSEB.The meter reading may not available in the following situation
1.There is no Power Supply and Poor battery backup.
2.Meter has no display.
3.The meter premise is locked.
This is shown as DL in your bill in the field of meter status.

Consider your  are a bimonthly  billed domestic consumer and your  average  monthly  consumption is 270 units.When your  meter in DL status  you're billed for this unit. After for months reading  is got and your total consumption is 600 units. The system splits  this into two equal parts i.e, 300.One for first two months  and rest is for last  two.

You have  already paid the amount for 270 units. But you will not billed for remaining  30 units, and you need only to pay the amount remains as balance for 300 units.

This is shown as "DL Adjustment +(Amount )"in your bill.

The remaining 300 units  is billed  as usual. 

If this  split up is not followed, your  first  bill is around ₹45.Then next bill for entire 600 units. This will lead to a huge amount. 

At the same time, your  consumption is 500 units. So the excess amount paid for 20 units s(270-250)is adjusted with your next bill as"DL Adjustment-(Amount )".
