KSEB Connected Load Regularisation 2023|Application Form|Last Date 31/12/2023

Kerala State Electricity Board Limited has given us many opportunities to renew or adjust our connected load free. Currently the last date is 31st December 2023. The link to download the related order and Application form  is given below.

Download Board Order and Application Form 

This article  is going to tell you why the load is renewed and how it will affect us in the future if not renewed.

First let us understand what is the connected load. Our connected load is the total amount of power that each appliance we use with electricity. For example the power taken by a fan is 100 watts and the power taken by an induction cooker is 2000 watts. The load is calculated based on the light or plug points. Or the cash deposit is fixed. So some people show less load to reduce the cd.

But this is not the problem. The fixed charge found in every bill except the house tariff is determined by our connected load. For example, the fixed charge on a commercial tariff is Rs. 70 per 1000 watts. If our load is 1001 watts, it is in the range of 2 kW. In other words, the fixed charge will be Rs. 140. Or if the load is reduced, this fixed charge will be waived.

KSEB has a vigilance unit called APTS or Anti Power Theft Squad to detect such offenses.

But the fixed charge in the house tariff is calculated according to the unit we are using. However, if our actual load is not shown, it may cause problems in the future.

This load change is required when we are renovating our house.

This process is time consuming and costly. After downloading the application , fill in the details of your connected load and submit it to the Assistant Engineer or Revenue Officer of the concerned Electrical Section Office. Remember, the last date is December 31 2023.

Reasons of Increase in KSEB Bill|KSEB |KSEB Bill Hike

Have you ever felt that your electricity bill is increasing day by day?

Even if there is no use or no one is staying at home, a lot of the bill is coming.

Does the bill seem to be too high, even if it is no longer used?

There are many reasons for this. Let us examine each one.

First we need to look at the meter status of our bill. If it is OK then our meter is not faulty.

If you see SF or suspected faulty in that position then your meter is not working properly. Then you will be billed according to your average usage. Normally it will be replaced by KSEB authorities immediately. If you do not change this meter before your next bill comes, you will get the old bill again. For some, this may result in a lower bill but may lead to higher Ex- system bills later in the audit hours, so the meter may need to be replaced immediately.

If you see DG or damage in this position, you should ask for the meter to be replaced as soon as possible.

In addition to this, another case where the average bill is paid is when the meter status is DL or the door is locked. That is, when our house or surroundings are closed when it comes to taking our reading or when the reading is not received due to bad battery back up of the meter.

In these cases too, you will only be billed in the form of an average bill. That is the reason why you will get the old bill even though it is less usable.

Now let's move on to the next step. If your bill has no problems or the meter status is the same, we can check the meter reading. Reading shows our unit.

The next problem is that the meter readings increase due to earth leakage or excessive current drawn by the damaged equipment. The use of ELCB will solve this problem to some extent. If not here's a new product just for you! At present there is no provision for any concession except that installments be allowed.

Finally, the meter should be checked for faults. 

For this, readings should be taken at regular intervals. The readings used by the instruments should be taken and compared with each other. It's the last thing you want to do. It costs Rs 250 for a single phase connection and Rs 369 for a three phase connection. 

If there is a significant difference between them, your meter will be replaced and the bill will be reset. At this point, your high bill may be a solution to the problem.

What is the Cost of KSEB Service Connection with Posts? |KSEB Over Head (OH) Connection Charges |KSEB ECSC

In this article, let's create a basic idea about KSEB ECSC (Estimate Cost for Service Connection ) rates.You have to pay CD(Cash Deposit )rates, in addition with this, GST is  not applicable for CD.

Case1

If the consumer needs  a Weather  Proof Support (WPS)i.e, a bare post without  (Now 8 meter  PSC poles are provided ), cross arms and insulators.
Then
ECSC=₹5540
CGST(9%)+SGST(9%)=₹997.2
You have to add normal(WP) charges with  this.
1.₹2071 (Single  Phase )
2.₹5022(There  Phase )
So Total ECSC=5540+997.2+2054=₹8591.
(Single  Phase ).
This  will applicable in all the following cases.

Case  2

If the consumer has to construct a single phase 2 wire line with length less than 50 meters.
Here the basic  ECSC rate=₹9160
In addition to this ₹80 per meter.
Suppose the length of oh line =35 meters
Then total cost is calculated as follows :
9160+80*40=₹12360
GST(SGST(9%)+CGST(9%)-18%=₹2224.8

Total =₹14586

(One post with one stay)

Also, if the way of line is not straight, an additional post is needed, then  it's treated as post insertion in single phase line.
The basic rates as follows, you have to pay GST(18%)) in addition to the amount shown here.

Pole insertion with  stay-₹8170.

Pole insertion without stay-₹6700.

Case 3

If the consumer has to construct a single phase 2 wire line with length more  than 50 meters and less than 100 meters, with two posts.
Here the basic  ECSC rate=₹21950
In addition to this ₹80 per meter for length  above 50 meters .
Suppose the length of OH line =90 meters
Then total cost is calculated as follows :
21950+80*40=₹25150
GST(SGST(9%)+CGST(9%)-18%=₹4527

Total =₹29677.

The following are some common services in OH connection and their basic rates as per KSEB Cost Data, you have to pay GST(18%) in addition to the amount shown here.You can calculate charges for any type of construction, but the amount may differ due to changes in material estimate.

 

1.Pole insertion  in single phase line with strut-₹13850.
2.Pole insertion in three phase line with stay -₹9200.
3.Pole insertion in three phase line without stay -₹7730.
