• Final assessments and appealsAppeals to the appellate authority against the final order.
• Supplementary billsBills raised after a meter or CT fault, checked against the consumption record.
• Premises and supply conditionsQuestions such as contiguous premises and the category of supply.

How an engagement runs

1. Review of bills, orders and recordsWe establish what the distribution company or the other side has levied, withheld or claimed, and why.
2. Representation to the utilityMany disputes close at this stage with a reasoned letter that cites the regulations.
3. Petition before the forumWhere needed, a petition to the state commission, CERC or the Electricity Ombudsman, or an appeal to APTEL.
4. Hearing and complianceMr. Ajay Porwal appears at the hearing, and we follow the order through to refund, revised bills or compliance.
