Consumers reduce the bill by tampering the electricity meter. The registration of reducing electricity bill in the market is available for 10 rupees. With this, the bill can be reduced easily from one meter up to 4 times.
Consider it like this. For example, the electricity load of a consumer’s house is 2 to 3 kW, according to this, its bill should come between 3000 to 4000, but the bill of 10 rupees i.e. resistance comes from 400 to 500 rupees. This resistance is easily found in any electronic market in Hisar. Resistance reduces the flow of current.

Such a game caught in the power corporation In fact, the case of the Electricity Corporation was caught when the electricity bill of consumers in sudden summer decreased by 4 to 5 times instead of decreasing. After this, the Electricity Corporation prepared a list of such consumers. After removing about 3822 meters, the Electricity Corporation checked in the lab, each third meter of taper was found. 1381 meter taper was found.
This is how taper is taper meter According to the officials of the Electricity Corporation, when the bill of a consumer comes more, they contact the gang and get the meter tampering. After this, the meter reading is low and the bill also comes down. This benefits the consumer, but the Electricity Corporation is damaged.
The gang cuts the wire or wire from the whistle in the meter to the main circuit i.e. PC and replaces resistance. Applying resistance reduces the current in the flow meter. Due to this, the meter reading reduces and the bill comes down. If there is an old meter, it can be controlled from outside through remote.
Electricity corporation recovers such a fine when it is caught According to the Electricity Corporation, one year penalty is imposed on tampering with electricity meters. If someone’s electricity bill comes to two to three thousand rupees a month, then the penalty costs 20 to 30 thousand rupees. The Electricity Corporation gets more than 100 meters of taper every month. For this, a lab has been built behind the Vidyut House in Hisar, where the team of experts under the leadership of the SDO examines the meters.
