The appellant is representing an industrial consumer named ‘Liya Saw Mill and Miniwood Industries’, with consumer No. 4208, under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Ottasekharamangalam. The grievance of the appellant is that a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 45,291.00 was issued by the respondent alleging power factor penalty during the period from 10/2013 to 6/2015 as per the report of Regional Audit Officer. According to the respondent, introduction of ToD metering and billing system to all LT industrial consumers those having connected load of 20 kW or above are given an opportunity to declare their contract demand. Such LT industrial consumers are shifted to ToD billing system on the basis of declaring their contract demand. But ToD billing system was not properly done up to 06/2015 and this was noticed during the audit by the Regional Audit Officer. Non-implementation of ToD billing system has resulted in excess collection of current charge and lesser collection of demand charges. Similarly no power factor penalty was realized nor any incentive given. Hence as per the audit, the appellant was issued short assessment on demand charges, current charges and penalty for power factor compensation. Aggrieved against the short assessment, the appellant filed petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara which was dismissed vide order in OP No. 126/2016 dated 23-09-2016. Still aggrieved, the appellant preferred an appeal praying for an exemption to remit the short assessment of Rs. 45,291.00. In view of the above findings, the short assessment bill issued to the appellant for Rs. 45,291.00 is not sustainable and hence quashed. The order of CGRF in OP No.126/2016 dated 23-09-2016 is set aside. No order as to costs.
