New connection charges 120814 for 2kw. Are they scamming me?
First of all thank you so much for developing such a useful website.
I am applying for new connection in Lucknow in rural area for non-domestic use and want load of 2kw mainly for lighting use for my nursery business. High voltage line is just 1-2m from my front boundary and going parallel to my front boundary. I have been given an estimate as follows, that too without stamp/sign/designation
Survey and transformer permitted charges 8000
Edd cess-2 54500
15% supervision charge 11175
Pcc plate 11800
Electrical goods 9743
10kva ashoka transformer 18500
Consulting and processing charge 7096
Total 120814
I couldn't find this edd cess-2 in the cost data book. I think I am being totally fooled. What should be the correct charges and what should I do? I am not capable of visiting desk to desk so would prefer online complain and resolution method.

You might check them on your own using our estimate calculator
If the LT line is far away (more than 40 meters), the department provides an additional estimate which includes a transformer, pole, conductor, labor, and supervision charges as per requirement after survey.
Department is having a pre-defined rate of all such items in a book, called cost data book which is getting revised at regular intervals.
The current cost data book could be downloaded from our library and find the rate of each individual item.
