KATHMANDU, April 13: The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has warned of taking action against customers who have failed to pay outstanding electricity dues for power supplied through dedicated feeders and trunk lines.
Issuing a notice, the NEA has asked consumers with pending dues from mid-January 2016 to mid-May 2018 to clear their payments within the stipulated time.
Around 300 local authorities, including KMC, owe over Rs 6 bill...
The NEA has also directed its regional and division offices to tighten efforts to recover outstanding payments. The move comes after some consumers were found to have halted installment payments and were only paying regular monthly bills despite repeated notices.
According to the notice, all consumers—whether they have opted for installment facilities or not (except those protected by interim court orders)—must continue to pay their dues. Failure to clear outstanding payments within the given deadline will result in action as per the Electricity Tariff Collection Regulation, 2078 BS.
The NEA has further instructed all concerned offices to mandatorily issue notices to customers in their respective areas and report the updates to the central office.
