A man in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district was left in shock when he received an electricity bill of about Rs two billion.
Lalit Dhiman, a businessman in Beherwin Jattan village, received a bill amount of Rs 2,10,42,08,405 for December 2024.
Mr Dhiman had paid just Rs 2,500 a month earlier.
He then went to the electricity board office and complained about it.
The officials told him that he received a high electricity bill due to a technical glitch. His bill was later reportedly rectified and brought down to Rs 4,047.
