WHAT?! TAAPSEE PANNU RECEIVES ELECTRIC BILL OF A HUGE SUM FOR HER VACANT HOUSE!

Yes, Taapsee Pannu took to her Twitter to question the ‘insane rise’ by asking sarcastic questions to the power company on what new appliances she was using to receive such a high electricity bill. She asked ‘what kind of power’ she was being charged for!

Posting pictures of her electricity bill on Sunday for the month of June, which was due for Rs 36,000 and for the month of May which was Rs 3,850. The ‘insane rise’ comes out to close a nine-ten fold increase than the usual charge.

In another tweet, she shared her bills of the months of April and March which were Rs 4390 and Rs 570 respectively. Taapsee also mentioned that the bill was for an apartment that was currently vacant, which made her wonder if anyone was sneaking onto the property behind her back. “And this one is for an apartment where no one stays n it’s only visited once in a week for cleaning purpose, @Adani_Elec_Mum I am now worried if someone is actually using the apartment without our knowledge and you have helped us uncover the reality,” she wrote.

Addressing the issue, a spokesperson from Adani Electricity issued a statement explaining the hefty power bills for Mumbaikars in the month of June - "We have re-started physical meter reading which was temporarily halted since March because of Covid-19. Bills were generated on lower side being an average of preceding three months i.e. Dec, Jan & Feb, which are winter months. Actual consumption in the months of Apr, May & June is comparatively higher due to seasonal impact (summer) and increased usage (advent of Lockdown/Work from Home). Now the consumers will start receiving the bills based on their actual consumption with appropriate tariff slab benefits. The bill amount for the past period shall be accounted as per MERC guidelines."
