A Mumbai resident, identified as “Crazyprocastinator” on Reddit, shared a post about an unexpectedly high electricity bill they received. The bill amounted to over ₹66,000, which left the individual perplexed and seeking explanations from the community. The post, which included a snapshot of the bill, gained significant attention, accumulating nearly 700 upvotes and numerous comments.
Internet users offered various insights and shared their own experiences. One user mentioned having faced a similar issue while renting in college, where they were charged approximately 50,000 for a wrong reading and could not get it rectified. Another user suggested that someone might be stealing electricity from the house, drawing an excessive amount of power from the main connection.
A third user advised checking the electricity substation and getting the physical meter re-checked, as they had experienced a bill of 37,000 that was later found to be 15,000 after re-verification. This process might require multiple visits or potential bribes to get re-checked. The post has sparked discussions and concerns among internet users, highlighting the potential issues with electricity billing in some cases.
