If you've been dealing with frequent power cuts, especially during hot days when electricity consumption surges, you may be entitled to compensation. Power cuts have left many frustrated, especially in regions like North India where temperatures have soared to around 50°C, causing a spike in electricity use for fans, coolers, and air conditioners. If you’ve been affected, here’s how you can take action.
Compensation for Power Cuts:- Eligibility for Compensation: If power cuts in your area are frequent and seem unjustified, you may be eligible to receive compensation. However, you’ll need to prove that these power cuts were intentional or without a valid reason.
- 24-Hour Electricity Mandate: According to the power ministry, all consumers are entitled to 24-hour electricity. This means power companies can be held accountable for prolonged and unexplained power cuts.
- Reconnection Delays: Compensation can also be sought if there’s an unreasonable delay in reconnecting your electricity after an outage.
This process ensures that power companies are held accountable for service disruptions, giving consumers the right to reliable electricity.
