Andhra Pradesh Electricity Board - Visakhapatnam

In my view the Bill amount is not indicative ,the due date is not indicative and the disconnection date printed on the Bill need not be indicative. The time between the due date and the discussion date is not less than 15days. I am getting alert messages of my bill amount in my mail and I do pay my bills on line.

If one forgets to pay the electricity bill in time the APEPDCL disconnects the power supply without prior notice.The possible date of disconnection written on the bill is only an indicative date. Hence, a notice must be served giving at least 7 days to pay the arrears. In no civilised / developed country, do the power suppliers behave in such a crude and uncivilised manner. If they do, they will be thrown out of business. Secondly, after charging Rs 75/= as "Re-connection Charge" they are NOT sending the electrician to restore the power supply.They are telling," Do it yourself" ! Then why charge Rs 75? Thirdly, if any patient is at home undergoing kidney dialysis, or suffering from serious heart problem the sudden disconnection of power can lead to death of the seriously sick patient at one's home.Hence, at 7 days clear NOTICE must be given for paying the arrears. After all, nobody is going to vanish overnight and not pay the bill. It is just that due to forgetfulness, one forgets to pay the bill.

The web site they are running is more or less like ornamental. They never update the details of the customers, in case you want to see. Their web site needs upgraded. Half of the staff spend their time outside in other activities.

The Engineers to supervise inspect and are never consumers know who is concerned about my area?
I rate is at AVERAGE.
