GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LOW TENSION TARIFF

1. Rural Areas mean those areas notified by the GoMP vide notification no. 2010/F13
/05/13/2006 dated 25th March 2006 as may be amended from time to time. Urban areas
mean all areas other than those notified by the GoMP as Rural Areas.

2. Rounding off: All bills will be rounded off to the nearest rupee i.e. up to 49 paisa shall be
ignored and 50 paisa upwards shall be rounded off to next Rupee.

3. Billing Demand: In case of demand based tariff, the billing demand for the month shall be
the actual maximum kVA demand of the consumer during the month or 90% of the contract
demand, whichever is higher. The billing demand shall be rounded off to the nearest integer
number i.e. fraction of 0.5 or above will be rounded to next higher integer and the fraction of
less than 0.5 shall be ignored.

4. Fixed charges billing: Unless specified otherwise, fractional load for the purposes of billing
of fixed charges shall be rounded off to nearest integer i.e. fraction of 0.5 or above will be
rounded to next higher integer and the fraction of less than 0.5 shall be ignored. However for
loads less than one kW/HP, it shall be treated as one kW/HP.

5. Method of billing of minimum consumption:

A. For metered agricultural consumers and other than agricultural consumers

horticulture activity - LV 5.1 and LV 5.2: The consumer shall be billed minimum
monthly consumption (kWh) specified for his category for the month in which his
actual consumption is less than prescribed minimum consumption.

B. For other consumers where applicable:

a. The consumer shall be billed one twelfth of guaranteed annual minimum

consumption (kWh) specified for his category each month in case the actual
consumption is less than above mentioned minimum consumption.

b. During the month in which actual cumulative consumption equals or is greater than
the annual minimum guaranteed consumption, no further billing of monthly minimum
consumption shall be done in subsequent months of the financial year and only actual
recorded consumption shall be billed.

c. Tariff minimum consumption shall be adjusted in the month in which cumulative

actual or billed monthly consumption exceeds cumulative monthly prorated minimum
annual guaranteed consumption. If actual cumulative consumption does not get fully
adjusted in that month, adjustment shall continue to be provided in subsequent
months of the financial year. The following example illustrates the procedure for
monthly billing of consumption where prorated monthly minimum consumption is
100 kWh based on annual consumption of 1200 kWh.
