UP Electricity Supply Code, 2005 - 12th Amendment (2018)

The 12th Amendment (2018) allowed rural domestic (LMV-1) and rural private tube well (LMV-5) consumers to pay arrears in six monthly installments after first paying the current bill, with 20% of arrears payable upfront for LMV-1. The licensee may allow or deny this facility at their discretion, making electricity payments more manageable for rural consumers.
