Following widespread public complaints regarding an unexpected twenty percent spike in domestic energy consumption, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) has mandated strict manual meter verification. Officials will closely cross-check the recorded smart meter readings directly across residential neighborhoods before officially issuing the monthly billing statements. Consumers previously alleged highly flawed digital calculations leading to exceptionally inflated tariffs.
The state energy minister immediately assured the public that all recorded billing anomalies will be fairly rectified and overcharged amounts will be refunded. This comprehensive verification process aims to fully restore consumer transparency and accountability within the state’s power distribution sector.
