Hyderabad: Energy Minister G. Jagadish Reddy announced that the accumulated power bill for the months of March April and May covering the lockdown period can be paid in three installments of 30, 40 and 30 percent. He made this announcement on Monday even while rejecting the complaints that the bills were exaggerated.He said the payment of the bill in installments was taken after considering the huge number of objections of increased bills from the consumers across the State who are unable to shell down three months bill at once.Speaking at a press conference the Minister said that the installments can be paid at cash counters across the State, but the bill can’t be part paid through online. “Now the consumers can pay 30 per cent of the currently generated bill in June, 40 per cent of the bill in July and remaining 30 per cent in the month of August,” he said.However, the consumers need to understand that they still have to pay the bills of ongoing months which are not covered under the lockdown months. Representatives of the hospitality industry were also given a chance to seek installments by approaching the concerned ERO office.
