There are about 1.63 crore domestic consumers in the State, of whom only
around a fourth – 40 lakh to 45 lakh – may be required to pay
additional security deposit (ASD) amount, say Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco)
Done once in two years, the collection of ASD amount is being made as per relevant regulations of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code(In April 2011 the previous collection of ASD amount had been made)
The corporation has begun informing the consumers about their dues in two ways: mentioning the amount due in the receipts presented to the consumers at the time of payment of bi-monthly charges and, through e-mail to those who make payments online
The ASD amount can be paid in three equated instalments subject to the approval of local officials
How the ASD amount is calculated ?
To arrive at the monthly average, under the present circumstances, the aggregate of current consumption charges paid by a consumer during April 2012-March 2013 is divided by 12 months
The security deposit for a domestic consumer should be equivalent to three times the monthly average amount
The ASD amount is the difference between the existing security deposit amount and the revised security deposit amount. If the existing SD amount falls short of the revised figure, the balance will be collected.In the case of those having excess SD amount, the surplus will be adjusted towards bi-monthly power bills.
