How the table is used — the slab-benefit rule
The notification's own footnotes settle the method: only protected consumers receive the benefit of one previous slab (their first 100 units at Rs 10.54, the rest at Rs 13.01), and lifeline consumers receive no slab benefit (all units at the single rate of the band reached). Unprotected consumers — most homes — likewise pay every unit at the landing-band rate. That is why the boundaries are cliffs: at 201 units, all 201 units move to Rs 33.10. The cliff, worked in full.
Who counts as protected or lifeline
Protected: a non-ToU residential consumer using 200 units or less in every one of the past 6 months (S.R.O. 1165(I)/2022, Part-II A-1). Lifeline: a single-phase connection up to 1 kW whose highest month in the last 12, this month included, is 100 units or less. Test your own record with the protected consumer checker.
What sits on top of this table
The monthly fuel charges adjustment (currently +Rs 2.3673), the quarterly adjustment (currently +Rs 0.5194), GST at 18%, and — for non-filers with bills of Rs 25,000 or more — 7.5% advance tax. Three smaller lines (FC surcharge, electricity duty, TV fee) are disputed in print; our treatment of each, and the bill evidence behind it, is on the methodology page.
