A paan seller in Haryana got a shocker of an electricity bill this Diwali — a whopping Rs.132.29 crore.
Rajesh, who runs a shop in Gohana town in Sonipat district, received the bill for the month of October.
“I was shocked to read the amount. It is not that the amount was printed wrongly only in numerals. The full amount was written in words too,” MR. Rajesh said.
“I am a simple man with a small shop on rent. I use only a light bulb and a fan. My electricity bill is generally less than Rs.1,000. This bill is an absolute shocker,” he said.
He said he would visit the electricity department to get the bill rectified.
The bill was issued by the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam.
