Understanding Your LESCO Bill
There are some deductions in the bill that many people cannot manage to understand.
Here we discuss some of these
CR : This means you don't need to pay the bill as it has a credit amount. Sometimes the Government announced any type of subsidy to poor people on the electricity bills on the defined slab of units. For example, normally government announces a subsidy on up to 300 units.
Deferred Bill/Bill with instalments:
That means either bill is divided into instalments or its date is extended for a few days and the consumer is not required to pay a surcharge while paying the bill.
Bills with Relief from the government:
Natural disaster-hit areas are provided with relief from the government along with a special package. For example, a couple of months ago flood affected areas were given relief and the electricity bills of all affected areas were forgiven. Also, during the pandemic, traders having commercial connections were provided with a relief package.

What is FPA in Electricity Bill?

In another case, if the fuel cost is less than the reference cost, the amount is subtracted from the bill.
