Subject: ELECTRICITY BILL RELIEF INITIATIVE OF GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJAB
Considering escalating electricity bills coupled with high inflation, the Government of Punjab has undertaken a significant and unprecedented initiative to alleviate the financial strain on the middle-class households. As part of this initiative, the Government of Punjab has decided to provide a targeted relief of Rs. 14/unit in the electricity bill (including taxes & duties) for consumers having monthly consumption from 201 to 500 units. This relief will be applicable for the billing months of August & September 2024.
2. To ensure smooth implementation of this initiative, it is requested to provide the estimated amount required to fund this financial relief. This estimate will enable the Government of Punjab to arrange the necessary funds in time and make advance payment to MEPCO.
3. We aspire to work closely with MEPCO formation to ensure that this initiative delivers the intended relief to electricity consumers across Punjab during these challenging times.
4. Your prompt attention to this request and submission of reply till Monday (19.08.2024) will be greatly appreciated.
