Rajasthan Electricity Bill & Tariff Guide

In Rajasthan, domestic electricity consumers enjoy up to 100 units of free electricity per month under the state government's relief scheme. For consumption beyond 100 units, the tariff is divided into slabs set by the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC).

Rajasthan Electricity Board and DISCOMs

The electricity distribution in Rajasthan is managed by three main regional DISCOMs under the umbrella of Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Limited:

• JVVNL (Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited): Covers Jaipur, Bharatpur, Kota, and surrounding districts.
• AVVNL (Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited): Serves Ajmer, Udaipur, Bhilwara, and nearby regions.
• JdVVNL (Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited): Supplies to Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and western Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Electricity Tariff Slabs & Rates

As per the typical RERC tariff structure for domestic consumers (BPL and Astha Card holders have special lower rates), the standard billing is calculated across different consumption slabs. Note that while the first 100 units are fully waived, the slab rates below apply to the total units if the consumption exceeds the free limits, after adjusting for applicable subsidies.

*Note: Official rates are subject to change as per the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) notifications.

Fixed Charges, Electricity Duty, and Surcharges

In addition to the per-unit energy charge, your Rajasthan electricity bill includes several other components:

• Fixed Charges: Levied per connection based on your sanctioned load or bimonthly consumption slab. For example, standard domestic consumers may pay fixed charges ranging from ₹250 to ₹400 per month depending on their usage category.
• Electricity Duty (ED): A state tax applied on the energy charges.
• Urban Cess and Water Conservation Cess: Minor additional levies typically calculated at a few paise per unit to fund state infrastructure.
• Fuel Surcharge (FPPCA): Variable charge added to recover fluctuations in power purchase costs.

The 100 Free Units Scheme Explained

Under the Chief Minister's Free Electricity Scheme, all domestic consumers are eligible for 100 free units of electricity every month. This means:

• If you consume exactly 100 units or less in a month, your electricity bill (including fixed charges, fuel surcharge, and all other taxes) will be strictly zero.
• For consumption up to 200 units, the first 100 units are free, and additionally, fixed charges and fuel surcharge are waived for the remaining units.
• If your consumption exceeds 200 units, you will be billed according to the standard slab rates for the units beyond the free threshold, along with applicable fixed charges.

Example Calculation of Rajasthan Electricity Bill

Let’s assume a domestic household consumes 250 units in a billing month under JVVNL. Here is a typical breakdown of how the bill might be calculated (simplifying surcharges for clarity):

• First 100 Units: ₹0 (Fully Subsidized)
• Next 50 Units (101 to 150 slab): 50 units × ₹6.50 = ₹325
• Next 100 Units (151 to 300 slab): 100 units × ₹7.35 = ₹735
• Total Energy Charge: ₹1,060
• Fixed Charges (Estimated): ~₹275
• Electricity Duty & Cess (Estimated): ~₹75

Total Estimated Bill: ₹1,060 + ₹275 + ₹75 = ₹1,410

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a K-Number in a Rajasthan electricity bill?

The K-Number is a unique 11 or 12-digit consumer identification number assigned to every electricity connection in Rajasthan. You need this number to check your bill status, register complaints, or make online payments.

Is the 100 units free electricity scheme still active?

Yes, as of the latest tariff orders, domestic consumers in Rajasthan continue to receive 100 units of free electricity per month, completely waving off energy charges, fixed charges, and surcharges for that tier.

How often are electricity bills generated in Rajasthan?

Depending on the region and meter type, bills are typically generated on a monthly basis for urban areas and sometimes on a bimonthly (every two months) basis for certain rural or specific consumer categories.

Can agricultural consumers get free electricity?

Yes, under a separate state agricultural scheme, farmers receive significantly subsidized or even free electricity up to a high limit (up to 2000 units in many cases) to support irrigation.

What happens if I miss the due date for bill payment?

If you fail to pay your Rajasthan electricity bill by the due date, a Delayed Payment Surcharge (DPS) of around 1.5% to 2% per month is added to your next bill. Prolonged non-payment can lead to immediate disconnection of power.
